Tomorrow I will be wearing the beautiful black onyx earrings with alpaca silver that my friend sent to me. I love their black lustre and like to put them on with black clothes.
Onyx is a cryptocrystaline form of quartz. The chemical composition is SiO2, Silicon dioxide. Its hardness on Mohs Scale is 7. The word Onyx is originally Assyrian, meaning “ring”, because onyx was used to make rings.

Onyx is the birth stone of my Chinese zodiac sign, the Ox. It means prosperity through fortitude and hard work. In China, Ox is a powerful sign. Oxen are dependable and possess the innate ability of achieving great things. Oxen are calm and self-possessed. They need peace and quiet to work through their ideas. When they have set their minds on something it is hard for them to be convinced otherwise.
People born under the influence of Ox are articulate and eloquent. They are kind and caring souls, positive and filled with common sense. Their feet are firmly planted on the ground, and they love security. Oxen are not extravagant, and the thought of living off credit cards or being in debt makes them nervous. They will think twice before spending money, and when they have decided, they will pay cash.
All in all, Oxen can be seen as intelligent, strong-minded and stubborn individuals, who don’t take kindly being told what to do. They like to decide for themselves.
