Onyx is a cryptocrystalline form of quartz. Pure black onyx is common, and perhaps the most famous variety, but not as common as onyx with banded colors. Black onyx is believed to be one of the most powerful protection stones. Its way of doing this is to absorb and transform negative energy. Because of this quality people find it helpful in relieving stress and for emotional stability.
