I love black onyx
hi Anamika, my mother is a Leo, she has kidney problem, no sleep ... i wish to ask you if Onyx will be good for her and when and in which finger should she wear it.
@Fajar Crystals and Gemstones are not alternatives to medical attention. Onyx can be worn on the ring finger.

Hello Anika I find your articles very informative because I am getting into the power of stones and I am big believer in the effects and the good ora that it provides.
I need to ask you a question.
I have been through a lot in 2008, it has been a year I wish to forget. What kind of stone would you recommend for me to represent strength, will and courage. Also yes I would love to keep the negativity and evil away as well.
I would like to wear it as a neacklace if possible.
I look forward to your response.
