Meaning of black is authoritative and powerful; because black can evoke strong emotions too much can be overwhelming.

It is also mysterious, providing a sense of potential and possibility. Black is a color often shrouded in confusion. Many individuals shy away from Black or using Black, especially when using Color Therapy. Black is actually a protective color. It can be used to calm and ground extremely sensitive people. It activates the feminine or magnetic energies of the body, strengthening them.

Black is not a color, strictly speaking. It is the absence of all color. When people speak of opposites, it is usually in terms of black and white. Black, and its opposite white represent polarities. Black absorbs all aspects of light. While white reveals, black conceals.

Black Energy:
Black is cloaked in mystery. We hunger to know its secrets, yet we fear what may be revealed. As human beings, we yearn to unravel life's secrets even as we fear the unknown. This desire/ fear response is the essential enigma of darkness. We are simultaneously drawn to and afraid of the mysteries within black.
Black is a powerful, bold and dramatic presence: heavy, dominating, and pervasive.

Symbolizes confidence, self-control and resilience. Black denotes strength and authority.

It is considered to be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious color (black tie, black Mercedes). A black suit or that "must have little black dress" can make you look thinner and sophisticated.

Thus, onyx is associated with the first (root) chakra, according to Sobriety Stones. Onyx is also strongly associated with protection, because of how it repels and deflects negative energy. The stone is used to assist people who want to detach themselves from negative emotions, or let go of a specific person, place or thing. Onyx stones help to lessen emotional intensity, increasing self-mastery and helping people overcome emotional upheavals associated with change. Onyx is often used in meditation to help people find a deeper spiritual connection and achieve balance.

Potential

Onyx stones might play a role in helping people find sobriety. As suggested by Sobriety Stones, the gem can be used in association with the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous addiction recovery program. Carry onyx stones during the first step, which focuses on self-mastery and self-control, to repel the negative desire to drink and stick to the path of sobriety. The third step focuses on making the decision not to drink. Onyx stones, which help clear the mind of confusion and aid in focusing thoughts to a specific task, may also aid in completing this recovery step.
