Speaking of wisdom, Job declares: “It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire” (Job 28:16). Onyx is then mentioned in 1 Chronicles 29:2 in which David prepares precious stones and materials to build the house of God through his son Solomon, who would later build the Temple: “ Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.”. The onyx was to be placed on the fourth row of the breastplate, along with a beryl stone and jasper and they were to be encased in gold. Repeat this process to cleanse after using.

Hover a selenite wand over the onyx black three times in a row. With closed eyes, recite how you wish to cleanse away all negative energies from the stone. The breastplate was adorned with jewels like the onyx and worn by the High Priest in the Holy Place inside the Temple. To spiritually clean a black onyx: Hold it between your palms and close your eyes. King David is said to have danced before the Ark of the Covenant wearing an ephod. It is then mentioned 7 times in the Book of Exodus, where the Onyx is set in the ephod and the breastplate of the priests of Israel. The ephod was an article of clothing worn by the priests of Israel. Did you know that the onyx stone is mentioned 11 times in the Bible? Onyx is first mentioned in the Book of Genesis: “ And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone” (2:12).
