Sardonyx                                         

    Sardonyx is a stone of strength and protection.  It invokes the search for a meaningful existence and promotes integrity and virtuous conduct. 

Bringing lasting happiness and stability to marrige and partnerships, Sardonyx attracts friends and good fortune.  It can be gridded around the house and garden to prevent crime.  (A stone can be place at each corner, and at doors and windows, but it is more effective to dowse for exactly the right place.)

Psychologically, Sardonyx supplements will power and strengthens character.  It increases stamina, vigor, and self-control.  This stone alleviates depression and overcomes hesitancy.  Mentally, Sardonyx improves perception and aids the process of osmosis and processing of information. 

Healing Sardonyx heals lungs and bones and desensitizes the sensory organs.  It regulates fluids and cell metabolism, strengthens the immune system, and aids the absorption of nutrients and elimination of waste products.

Hildegard von Bingen sang its praises.  The devil hates its purity and flees.  Place against bare skin or in the mouth
