Onyx, a striking black gemstone, has been steeped in mythology and superstition for centuries. In ancient Greek lore, it was said to have formed when Cupid clipped the fingernails of Venus, and the fallen pieces turned to stone, symbolizing protection and transformation. In some cultures, onyx was believed to absorb negative energy and safeguard its wearer from evil forces, though others, like the Chinese, once regarded it as an unlucky stone. In Indian and Persian traditions, onyx was thought to bring strength and self-mastery, helping warriors and leaders maintain focus and resilience. Often associated with the underworld, it was also linked to Hades and used in mourning jewelry, reinforcing its connection to mystery and the unseen.
