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. In Vedic practice a gemstone is normally chosen after a chart review by a qualified astrologer, since suitability depends on the individual horoscope. Its traditional associations are symbolic, not promises of any result.
