Blue Onyx

Science & Origin

Blue Onyx is a stunning and unique variety of Onyx, a banded, layered mineral composed of Chalcedony. It is characterized by its beautiful shades of blue, ranging from pale sky blue to deep, rich blue, often with white, gray, brown, or black banding. Blue Onyx was first discovered in the 18th century and has since become known for its soothing and powerful energy. Blue Onyx forms in the cavities of volcanic rocks, where layers of silica are deposited over time, creating its distinct banded appearance. The vibrant blue color of this variety is attributed to the presence of copper and iron minerals, giving it a calming and energizing effect. Highly valued for its protective and grounding qualities, Blue Onyx is often used in crystal healing to promote emotional balance, strength, and mental clarity. Its subtle yet powerful vibration makes it a favored stone for meditation and energy work.
