Onyx is an excellent stone for initiating the modes of centering and alignment of the total person with the higher powers.  It can be used to banish grief, to enhance self-control, to stimulate the power of wise decision-making, and to encourage happiness and good fortune.  It helps one to absorb, from the universe, those energies which are needed.  It can be used to cleanse the intuitive receivers such that one may feel the connection to the whole while continuing to be aware of the many opportunities available for use of intuitive guidance.  It also furthers the quality of sentience of the instincts, helping one to both see and feel the guidance.  It can also help to see the duality of ones nature and to synthesize the yin and yang into the whole.  It can be used to provide glimpses of that which lies “beyond”, while providing for activation of the memory with respect to ones “roots” and reality.  It further helps one to follow the path alone, promoting the recognition of personal strengths and assisting one in the understanding of the reality of the moment.  It helps one to become the master of ones own future.  It is said to have been one of the stones used in the breastplate of the high priest.  It has been used in the treatment of disorders related to bone marrow, to the soft tissue structures, and to the feet.  Vibrates to the number 6.
