Sardonyx can be traced back four thousand years to Ancient Egypt. For most of its history, this stone has been used to create cameos and intaglios. In today’s modern times, we use this stone as a powerfully grounding and protective tool. Sardonyx also serves us in the process of surrender; surrendering to the things we don’t have control over by washing away the desire to cling to things that no longer serve us. Sardonyx has a captivating pattern of swirled colors. As you look at this stone, study the movement of these colors. Nothing is forced; the colors simply move together, swirled by creation. There is so much beauty in the flow. Hold your stone in your hand and repeat this mantra: “I consciously let go of attachments and I immerse myself in the creative flow that surrounds me.”
