According to astrologers, the magical properties of the onyx stone for different zodiac signs are as follows:
- Cancer The stone has the most favorable effect on this zodiac sign. Cancer is naturally sensitive and impressionable, yet it still has great potential. Onyx will help them unlock their potential and also contribute to promoting their business. When it comes to color, these representatives of the water element are suited to stones in “sea” shades: blue, turquoise, azure, etc.
- Fish.It is assumed that it is better for Pisces to refrain from purchasing onyx. The stone can strengthen their asceticism.
- Scorpio The mysterious melancholic Scorpio needs protection from his sad thoughts. Black onyx can easily cope with this and ward off depression. The talisman also protects against accidents and sudden shocks, of which Scorpios are often victims.
- Gemini Representatives of this sign are often naturally endowed with leadership qualities and creativity. With such a set, Geminis can achieve great success. However, they are hindered by instability and a fickle nature. Onyx can easily handle it: it will strengthen the strong points and help mitigate the weaknesses. For Gemini, choose multicolored onyx.
- Aquarius.Just like Gemini, Aquarians often lack consistency on the path to their goals. Onyx helps with concentration, guiding its owner to success. For Aquarius, stones in shades of green are suitable.
- Weights.The blue stone will help them stay balanced and make the right decisions. If your horoscope sign is Libra, give preference to onyx in all shades of blue.
- Leo The mineral will strengthen Leo's leadership qualities and help gain the favor of others. Black onyx is the most advantageous for them. Leo usually has a naturally strong character and can harness the energetic potential of the mineral.
- Aries For these temperamental people, onyx jewelry will help them be more tolerant of others.
- Sagittarius.The powerful energy of the sign often attracts evil people. Sagittarians have the ability to “infect” others with their hobbies and, as a side effect, face envy. Black onyx will help protect Sagittarius from the evil eye, harm, and malicious tongues.
- Taurus.These typical representatives of the Earth element often suffer from self-doubt. The stone will help them relax and (if necessary) overcome bad habits. Warm-toned onyx is suitable for Taurus.
- Virgo.Onyx teaches pragmatic Virgos to be leaders. Representatives of this sign, doing all the work, often undeservedly remain in the shadows. Light-colored onyx will remedy the situation and teach Virgos how to present themselves properly.
- Capricorn People born under the sign of Capricorn will find in onyx not only a talisman, but also an advisor in decision-making.

This mineral belongs to the elements of the Earth, nourished by the support of two planets - Mercury and Saturn. This means that the proximity of flammable minerals is unacceptable. These include:
- Pomegranate, Diamond, Red Tourmaline, Zircon

HISTORY AND TRADITION
The word onyx comes from the word “onux”, which means fingernail.But why a nail in particular?Legend has it that it was created when the god of love, Cupid, shot off Venus's fingernail with an arrow.Since then, it has had a reputation as a bearer of good luck in love and also helps overcome the pain of loss.Its presence also has an aphrodisiac effect.
Legends of several nations professing different faiths tell of onyx. The mineral was a mandatory ritual attribute, decorated the walls of sanctuaries, and was used to make food and handicrafts.
- The ancient Greeks identified the gemstone in their myths with the petrified fingernails of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. According to legend, the divine son Eros fell asleep while clipping his mother's nails. The word “onyx” itself is translated from Ancient Greek as “fingernail”. NuGet pebbles are actually shaped like nails.
- Islamists held the black mineral in very high esteem. The main sanctuary of Muslims, the Kaaba, is adorned with a precious gemstone.
- The Aztecs built entire buildings from onyx, for both cultic and secular purposes. The temples were decorated with striped nuggets, from which vessels for offerings were made. These people, more than others, revered a light-shaded green mineral with orange-brown layers.
- Biblical legends on the first pages mention onyx as a stone from the Garden of Eden. Paradise Gem adorned the confidant of the Jewish high priest and was one of the 12 gemstones. The rich robes of the ancient Jewish priests were adorned with nuggets. And according to the Old Testament of the Bible, Solomon's Temple was built precisely from onyx.
- The most unusual story tells of sardonyx - one of the varieties of onyx. The legend is associated with the name of the famous artist Benvenuto Cellini. The Master disappeared from the Vatican for a long time once, together with an armful of gold and precious stones, and aroused the anger and indignation of His Holiness.
- In response to the sworn reproaches, Cellini presented the pope with a gemstone carved from multicolored sardonyx. The Evangelical canonical scene depicted the Last Supper, where each multicolored layer of mineral characterized the figures. Christ was depicted in white, the Apostle John dressed in a blue robe. Peter was given a red robe, and for Judas a somber tunic of dark brown color was intended.
This work amazed the Pope not only with its craftsmanship, but also with how an ordinary paving stone became a masterpiece, even though it had needlessly lain underfoot for many years. Thus Cellini received forgiveness and the title of beloved son of the Church, and the master's work still adorns the altar of the Cathedral of the Apostle Peter to this day.
Modern architects, following the example of antiquity, use onyx for cladding. Only today is such decoration not used in temples, but in metro stations, restaurants, and the private residences of dignitaries.
