BLACK ONYX CABS
|
 |
Black onyx is believed to be one of the most powerful protection stones. Its way of doing this is to absorb and transform negative energy. Because of this quality people find it helpful in relieving stress and for emotional stability. It's one of the first (root chakra) grounding stones; as such,it encourages connection to material goals and to determination in realizing them. Although this may include people born under the sign of Capricorn, it's not limited to them. I mention the above because it's part of the lore about this stone; however, black onyx has another characteristic which can make it valuable to anyone. It has been said that in India it was commonly worn to cool the ardors of love. Thus it may be very helpful for people who can't let go of past relationships (sometimes even long after they're over.) |

ROSE QUARTZ CABS
|
 |
Rose quartz is a type of quartz which exhibits a pale pink to rose red hue. The color is usually considered as due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese, in the massive material. Some rose quartz contains microscopic rutile needles which produces an asterism in transmitted light. Recent X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the color is due to thin microscopic fibers of possibly dumortierite within the massive quartz.
Very rarely, some rose quartz is suitable. Rose Quartz is more often carved into figures such as people or hearts. Hearts are commonly found because Rose Quartz is pink and an affordable mineral
