The virtues and properties of Sardonyx in lithotherapy

It is an excellent stone for overcoming grief, emotional shock or major disappointment.

It's a very complete stone, often underestimated and relatively little used in lithotherapy. And yet, it works wonders when too many emotions stagnate and become encysted.

It contains the element of water, which brings fluidity and movement and helps to break out of crystallized and destructive patterns. The fire element brought by Sardony provides the impetus for transformation and change. Onyx connects you to the earth element and earth brings you a sense of security, improves your grounding and has protective virtues.

It's also a stone that helps you to balance your Yin and Yang polarities and to accept that not everything is black or white, to accept that shadow is necessary for the radiance of light and that one cannot exist without the other.
