Black Onyx (Sulemani Hakik

Black Onyx (Sulemani Hakik (banded onyx)) sold as a loose gemstone, so you can choose the weight and the setting yourself.

This is a loose black onyx, not a finished piece of jewellery; no metal setting is included. Weight options: 3 Ratti to 18 Ratti (16 options). The listing describes the tone as black; gems vary, so ask for a daylight photo if the exact shade matters. Weights step from 3 Ratti to 18 Ratti, and larger weights mean a larger stone.

About black onyx

Black onyx is a smooth, deep-black stone often used for beads and cabochons. In old lore it is linked with strength, self-control and protection. In Jyotish, it is the gem linked with Shani (Saturn) in some traditions. Traditionally, a qualified astrologer reviews the chart first, since the right gem varies from person to person. Its traditional associations are symbolic, not promises of any result.

A common pre-purchase question: check the listing details and photos first, then message us if anything is unclear.

FAQs

How do I pick a weight?

Weight is a matter of budget, the size you want and, for astrological use, your astrologer's advice. Some astrologers relate the Ratti weight to body weight; others use different rules, so recommendations vary.

Should I check with an astrologer first?

Tradition says a gem's suitability depends on the individual horoscope. Many people consult an astrologer first; you can also book an astrological report on Brahmatells.

Is there a lab certificate?

Certification is not listed on this page. Need a lab report for a particular stone? Message us before you order.
