Onyx Sphere / Black Agate Ball

Most people do not realise that onyx spheres are actually black agate balls. If onyx is not a glassy black, black with a bit or white and/or brown and / or red, then they are banded calcite from Pakistan! Every crystal ball is so completely unique with some or no banding. I like to say Nature had a lot of fun creating these!

Like all agates, it brings you strength and courage, and will help to lessen fear and stress, however it uniquely aids you to connect to the planet and to encourage you to shamancally accept your “dark” side. It reduces sensitivity for people working with those who have mental health issues.

We will intuit the best onyx sphere for you.
