I have been collecting vintage and antique Chinese beads for many years. I just love the intricate and delicate carving on these rare antique Chinese vintage beads carved from Beautiful NATURAL Black Onyx. These beads are round and measure approximately 20mm round in size. The detail in these beads is just exquisite and and the kind of work you just don't see anymore. These beads are becoming so hard to find and onyx in particular! I recently was lucky enough to find some old stock in this bead. This would make an amazing focal bead for a mala or any statement necklace.
This listing is for ONE bead
. I do have multiples in this bead and I'm always happy to combine shipping. These beads are vintage stock so once they are gone they are gone. Please look at the photos carefully and message me with any questions. Onyx beads are also particularly hard to find as the stone is going up in price.
Folklore About Black ONYX :
A powerful protection stone, Black Onyx absorbs and transforms negative energy, and helps to prevent the drain of personal energy. Black Onyx aids the development of emotional and physical strength and stamina, especially when support is needed during times of stress, confusion or grief. Black Onyx fosters wise decision-making.
Use Black Onyx to encourage happiness and good fortune. Black Onyx is a strength-giving stone and can provide support for self-discipline issues. Because it helps to hold physical memories, Black Onyx can be useful in healing old wounds or past life issues.
Black Onyx is wonderful for meditation and dreaming. When using Black Onyx for either of these purposes, it is recommended to use a secondary grounding stone in combination with the Onyx. Black Onyx helps one to become master of their own future. (via HealingCrystals website)
