Black Onyx Vogel Style Pendulum

Item Code: Pendulum06-BO

SGD 30.00

This Black Onyx pendulum has a vogel-cut with a tapered point for accurate dowsing. A smooth, deep piano-black, this pendulum design can double up to be worn as a pendant! It comes attached with a Clear Quartz holding bead.

Properties of Onyx
Onyx is strength-giving. It provides support in difficult or confusing circumstances and during times of enormous mental or physical stress. Centering your energy and aligning it with a higher power, accessing higher guidance, is facilitated by Onyx. It can take you forward to view the future and, with its capacity to impart personal strength, facilitates being master of one’s destiny. This stone promotes vigor, steadfastness and stamina. It aids learning lessons, imparting self-confidence and helping you to be at ease with your surroundings.

Onyx is a secretive stone that assists in keeping your own counsel. It is said to hold the memories of things that have happened to the wearer. It can be used for psychometry, telling the story to those who are sensitive to its vibrations. This makes Onyx useful in past-life work for healing old injuries and physical trauma that are affecting the present life. Onyx can also be used to heal old grief and sorrow.

Psychologically, Onyx recognizes and integrates dualities within the self. It anchors the flighty into a more stable way of life and generally imparts self-control. Onyx is a mental tonic that alleviates overwhelming fears and worries. It conveys the invaluable gift of wise decisions.
