Onyx was very popular with the Greeks and Romans. The name comes from the Greek word 'onyx' which means claw. The story is that one day Cupid cut the divine fingernails of Venus, while she was sleeping. He left the clippings scattered in the sand and the fates turned them into black stone.Onyx was highly valued in Rome, especially for seals, because it was said that it would never stick to wax. Roman generals wore it a great deal for jewelry.

It is believed that Onyx helps you become the Master of your own Fate, enhances self mastery, steadfastness, and determination, setting ones mind to a task. It is grounding stone and can be used to deflect or absorb the negativity of others, and in that way is a good stone for protection from negative forces and influences
