The Black Stone – A Connection to the Occult World

The term "Black Stone" is associated with precious and semi-precious stones, often characterized by satin or moderate shine and colored in a mystical dark hue.

Some crystals are colored black to enhance their natural appearance.

The rich variety of black stones also leads to many metaphysical properties.

Most people associate the color black with the occult, and some even fear it due to superstitions.

 

Occult Beliefs

In the world of the occult, there is a belief that if a black stone is imbued with evil intentions. It will "record" the energy and act as a powerful curse. The stone is also used in many rituals to connect with the world of the dead.

 

Varieties and Their Properties

Black is the only color with no "rival"; it is a universal shade associated with classic style and elegance. The jewelry industry holds black crystals in high regard.

There are several varieties of semi-precious black stones:

 

Black Opal

Black Opal, one of the most sought-after gems, is a rare treasure in this category. Though often black, its color can vary, and its value can even rival that of diamonds.

 

Black Agate

This is perhaps the only stone associated with negative energy and is even considered a harbinger of death. It is mainly used for divination and is not recommended as an accessory for people unfamiliar with the power of crystals.

 

Black Sapphire

This is a very valuable stone. Its appearance is characterized by an opaque, dense surface that lacks luster but has a mirror-like reflection. There are lower-grade varieties with different physical properties, making them accessible to the mass market.

 

Black Onyx

Black Onyx carries the wisdom of the ages. Black Onyx has been highly esteemed in occult circles as a healing stone. It has a dark base with a white stripe of chalcedony. Genuine Onyx sparkles and possesses a glassy shine. The richest deposits of this crystal are found in India, China, Australia, and Germany.

 

Black Pearl

You may have heard of this jewel of the oceans, also known as Tahitian pearls. They are among the rarest and most exotic gemstones, which is why they are so pricey. They are recognizable by their iridescent luster and rich palette of black shades. Working with them requires precision, as they need special conditions and processing methods. They are formed in a special type of oyster called *Pinctada margaritifera*.

 

Obsidian

Born from the depths of volcanoes, this semi-precious stone is a natural volcanic glass with great hardness and a crystalline structure. Obsidian was used in ancient times to make arrowheads, mirrors, and, of course, jewelry.

 

Black Zircon

This natural gemstone is often used as a diamond substitute in the jewelry industry. Its black color is due to the iron oxide in its composition, which is very rare, making the stone equally valuable.

 

Black Tourmaline

This semi-precious stone has been known in the spiritual world for centuries. It has various properties making it suitable for healing, divination, and jewelry making. It is often found in large pieces, making it easy to work with.

 

Properties and Applications

Alternative medicine practitioners are familiar with the black stone’s power and apply it in various therapies. The healing properties depend on whether the stone is naturally black or artificially enhanced.

Black stones are believed to enhance spiritual values in a person and absorb dark energy.

Beads made from black stones are a perfect addition to a classic and elegant look, highly regarded in elite circles.

The common trait among the different varieties is how they should be stored. Due to the different energy charges they carry, black stones are best stored separately from your other jewelry, ideally in a velvet pouch.

Black stones are associated with their influence on the root chakra and the grounding sensation they provide through their connection to the Earth.

 

Did You Know?

If you place black stones in water-filled bowls around your home, they will absorb negative energy from the inhabitants and visitors. Change the water daily to ensure the stone can perform its task effectively. You can add fragrances like cumin to the water, creating not only a talisman for your home but also a beautiful accessory that spreads a pleasant aroma throughout the room.

 

Price

The good news is that black stones are fairly affordable. Their value varies depending on their color and transparency.

Typically, the most affordable crystals are the untreated ones. The more intense the color and the more natural the stone, the higher its value. Some varieties can reach astronomical prices.

Processed pieces of black stones are fairly cheap. You can easily get some even on a budget.
