The benefits of Onyx in Lithotherapy
Onyx is a variety of black stone that stands out for its high sensitivity to energies . Although we might think of brooding in its company, Onyx offers a solid base to support our great emotional storms and contributes to the maintenance of our well-being .
In your pocket, as a bracelet or even as a pendant, Onyx knows how to play with energy vampires by capturing them in its heart. It's well known, Dracula was never very into light, right?
It is true that there are much more fun varieties of Onyx such as Sardonyx or Green Onyx. Nevertheless, this crystal remains a must-have litho that will bring you comfort in areas of strong disturbances.
In addition to making bad vibes disappear, Onyx contributes to your inner security by surrounding you with a healthy magnetic bubble. She accompanies many litho enthusiasts in the dissolution of their anxieties and their fears .
Onyx / Obsidian: how to tell the difference?
We ourselves have a hard time doing it… Why? Quite simply because their disparities cannot be seen with the naked eye but by the weight of their structure. Onyx is made of a much lighter crystalline composition than Obsidian , which is much thicker due to its volcanic roots and the air bubbles it can contain.
On the scale, at the same size, your Obsidian will therefore be heavier than your Onyx.
Tip: on good quality stones, trigger the flash of your phone then stick your stone to the light. If the ends of the stone reveal light, it is an Onyx. Conversely, if the flash fails to make its way through your stone, it is an Obsidian.
