Black Onyx with Pyrite Pyramid - 1.75-2.5 inch

The Black Onyx Pyramid is a four-sided polished pyramid in deep, even black, rising from a square base to a central apex and carrying scattered brass-gold Pyrite inclusions that catch the light. Each Black Onyx Pyramid shows a different placement of those metallic flecks across its faces, and the clean geometric form sits solidly on a desk or shelf.

Black Onyx is traditionally associated with protection and grounding alongside calm and stress relief, long regarded as a steadying, defensive stone, and the Pyrite inclusions add a note of Pyrite's abundance and drive. A pyramid is often chosen to focus and direct a stone's influence upward through its apex, and a polished Black Onyx Pyramid makes a striking, grounded desk or shelf piece.

As a natural stone, each Black Onyx Pyramid differs in the amount and placement of its Pyrite inclusions, so no two are alike.

Geological Information
Black Onyx is a banded chalcedony of the Quartz family (silicon dioxide, Mohs 7, trigonal system), here carrying natural inclusions of Pyrite, a brass-yellow iron sulphide. Almost all commercial Black Onyx is natural grey or banded chalcedony dyed to a deep, permanent black using the sugar-acid or iron-nitrate process standardised in the Idar-Oberstein agate trade from the 19th century; the treatment is stable and industry-standard, and is disclosed here. Principal source is Brazil, along with India and Germany.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance.
