I created this smooth lustrous bracelet using 8mm Black Onyx and at its center a raw rough cut Pyrite nugget finished with a Sterling silver figure eight clasp.
Onyx is a balancing, grounding stone, particularly black onyx. It is thought to help stimulate the root chakra.
Your root chakra is your grounding energy center. Other colors of onyx stimulate different chakras in your body and are associated with different meanings as a result.
Onyx helps to reduce the intensity of emotions, whether negative or positive, and balances conflicting energies and drives. It is associated with good fortune and judgment, and with fidelity.
Onyx, like jade, is a great stone to wear if you are setting out on a new journey and require strength and commitment, whether that journey is a personal one, a business venture, or a relationship.
If you have difficulty sticking with tasks, decisions, or relationships, onyx may help you to remain grounded in your choices and see your decisions through. Those who have difficulty with commitment can benefit from wearing onyx or keeping it nearby.
Disclaimer: Black onyx should not be used instead of regular medical treatment, but in addition to treatments. Always seek professional help when dealing with health-related problems.
Pyrite is a shiny, brass-colored stone often used for abundance, confidence, and protection. It's also known as fool's gold because its color and metallic luster have sometimes caused people to mistake it for gold. The name pyrite comes from the Greek word for fire, and it can emit sparks when struck.
Pyrite can be used to bring a feeling of increased vitality during times of hard-work or stress. Traditionally, Pyrite crystal is known as a stone of luck, helping to attract abundance, wealth and prosperity.
