Mother nature combined these two contrasting minerals and it makes a striking display piece.
Calcite is composed of the same material as limestone: calcium carbonate. This transparent to opaque mineral can be found in a variety of colours when it is charged with impurities.
As a healing stone, calcite is a powerful crystal that helps clarify vision, as well as clean toxins from the body and reduce stress.
Onyx is a variety of chalcedony or microcrystalline quartz which is formed in the gas cavities of lava. Generally, most onyx has a parallel banding structure (as opposed to agate which is more irregular), however black onyx doesn’t tend to have this characteristic banding.
As a healing stone, black onyx is thought to increase regeneration, happiness, intuition and instincts.
