Onyx

The name "Onyx" comes from the Greek word "onux," which means "fingernail." According to legend, the stone originated from the fingernails of Venus. Venus was fast asleep when Cupid, who was feeling mischievous, decided to trim her fingernails. Her fingernail clippings were scattered on the beach when he went, but the fates transformed them into stone so that no portion of the celestial body would perish. Onyx has been revered for its harmonious and powerful protection energy. A crystal of inner peace and confidence that brings happiness to your home.
