Introduction

Introduction

God of Wealth Black Onyx is a premium variety of black onyx, prized for its intense, uniform black color and subtle silky luster. In feng shui tradition, it is associated with Caishen, the Chinese God of Wealth, and is thought to invite abundance and shield the wearer from negative energies. Each bead is carefully selected for its depth of color and smooth finish, making it a sophisticated choice for those seeking both elegance and intention.

Black onyx is a variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline quartz. It forms in volcanic lava cavities where silica-rich fluids deposit in layers over millions of years. The black color comes from carbon or iron impurities. God of Wealth Black Onyx is sourced from select deposits known for their consistent, jet-black hue and minimal banding, then cut and polished to a high gloss.
