Caring for Your Black Onyx Beads
To keep your Black Onyx beads looking their best, it’s important to handle them with care. Store them in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches, as Onyx is durable but can still be damaged by harder materials. Clean your beads regularly by wiping them with a soft cloth and, if needed, use lukewarm water with mild soap, just be sure to dry them thoroughly. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, excessive moisture, or prolonged sunlight, which may affect their luster. To maintain their energetic properties, recharge them by placing them on a Selenite plate, smudging with sage, or grounding them in the earth overnight. With proper care, your Black Onyx beads will remain a powerful and striking addition to your collection.

Not Recommended Pairings for Black Onyx Beads
While Black Onyx is a powerful grounding stone, some gemstones may create an energetic imbalance when paired with it. Selenite, with its high vibrational cleansing energy, may weaken Black Onyx’s deep stabilizing effects. Blue Lace Agate promotes gentle communication and relaxation, which can clash with Onyx’s intense grounding properties. Citrine’s uplifting energy contrasts with Black Onyx’s absorbing nature, potentially leading to an energetic mismatch. Similarly, Lepidolite’s calming and anxiety-relieving effects may soften Black Onyx’s strong, assertive energy. Moldavite, known for rapid transformation, may feel overwhelming when combined with Black Onyx’s steady, grounding force. While these pairings aren’t necessarily “bad,” they may counteract each other’s effects, making them less effective for specific intentions. Always choose gemstone combinations that align with your personal energy and goals!Â
