  • Perhaps no gemstone has as negative a body of lore as onyx. So, why have people used this gem in jewelry for millennia? In this article, you'll get the whole story of onyx symbolism.
    Misfortune and Onyx Symbolism
    The black-and-white layered variety of chalcedony has acquired a somewhat sinister reputation. In fact, onyx symbolism is replete with connections to bad luck. In Arabic, black onyx is known as el jaza, which means "sadness." A manuscript from 1875 notes that in China, slaves and menial servants mined onyx. Nobody would willingly touch or own this gem for fear of bad dreams, misfortune, and loss of energy. Although merchants couldn't sell onyx in China, they brought it west and sold it to the unwary there. (Of course, this profitable trade suggests it wasn't all that detrimental to business).
