Onyx TreasureCan

Description

Item: OC004

Native American Medicine Company’s Treasure Cans are made with high quality, 26 gauge Sterling silver and polished gemstone inlay.

The lid of this Treasure can is inlaid with Spirit Stone. Spirit Stone is a type of chalcedony or microcrystalline quartz. Chalcedony comes in a multitude of varieties and Spirit Stone is the Onyx variety.  It is formed when silica is deposited in lava gas cavities which results in the unique bands or stripes that Onyx stones usually exhibit. The word Onyx comes from the Greek word ‘onux’, which means claw or fingernail, because the veins found on the stone look very much like the colors of a fingernail. Onyx may be a multilayered black and white stone, usually with a black base and a white upper layer, but it may also be brown and white, as in sardonyx; or red and white as in carnelian onyx. Onyx has a hardness of 6.5 to 7.0 on the Mohs scale.

A very grounding stone, Onyx is beneficial for those thought to be flighty by nature, or one who is having difficulty concentrating or focusing one’s attention. It is a strengthening stone that may assist one in the approach to a lesson or task with greater self-confidence and determination. Onyx is a wonderful stone for anyone that is under extreme mental or emotional stress, bringing strength, balance, and harmony to the body and mind. It is thought to increase intuition, instinct, and happiness, as well as decreasing sexual desire when it comes with negative energy or habitual nature. Onyx is said to banish grief, enhance self-control, stimulate the power of wise decision making, as well as to assist one in absorbing the energies of the universe that one most requires.

The Sterling silver can serves to enhance the energies of the stones around it, while also strengthening the connection between the astral and physical planes.

Stash your tiny treasures in the Native American Medicine Treasure Can to infuse them with these powerful energies.
