HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Blue Onyx is a relatively rare crystal, usually featuring soft shades of blue and gray. The higher the proportion of blue, and the more vibrant the blue color, the higher its quality. The color tones of Blue Onyx symbolize tranquility and peace, making it commonly used for emotional balance and spiritual healing.

The name “Onyx” comes from the Greek word “ὄνυξ” (onyx), meaning “claw” or “fingernail,” because the striped appearance of Onyx is as smooth and solid as the claw of a large beast. Traditional Onyx often features black or white stripes, but the unique blue tone makes Blue Onyx particularly beloved.

Onyx itself is an ancient crystal that was widely used during the Roman and Greek periods. Its unique striped appearance made it ideal for creating carvings, amulets, and ceremonial objects. People in ancient times also believed that Onyx could protect the wearer, so soldiers often wore it during wars. Those with unique color varieties, such as blue, were symbols of higher-ranking soldiers.
