What is onyx

We are talking about a natural layered mineral of different colors and shades. Durable and easy to maintain, the stone has properties similar to marble. It is classified as an ornamental stone, so it is often used for making souvenirs, dishes, inexpensive jewelry, rosaries and talismans.

The appearance of the stone can hardly be called special. Translucent, with parallel layers, the mineral can be light, dark and even golden. In nature, there are pebbles with stripes of pink, brown, yellow and green.

History and origin

The stone appears in myths and legends. They decorated royal chambers, tombs, robes and regalia of priests.

Onyx

The Old Testament states that this ornamental stone (and not marble) was used to build Solomon's temple. The structure did not have windows, but was filled with light: the material transmitted it well. Onyx was in Eden and on the breastplate of the high priest of Judah.

The gem is mentioned in ancient Greek mythology. Onyxes are the petrified nails of Aphrodite. While the goddess was sleeping, her son Eros cut them off. Onyx translated from ancient Greek means “nail”. Externally, the pebble also resembles a marigold.

This is a sacred attribute of Islam: the stone in the main Muslim shrine of the Kaaba is black onyx.

The Aztecs valued above all others the influence of a pale green mineral with brown-orange layering. Temples were decorated with it, and sacrificial vessels were made from it. Religious and secular buildings were erected from the gem.

Modern architects also use onyx, but more artificial. The tiles are used to cover subway stations, official and private residences, chic restaurants, and clubs.

Apple - symbol meaning

It would seem like an ordinary fruit, but there are so many stories and legends around it! The apple is often mentioned in the mythology of different peoples, and its meaning is not always positive. Some believe in the power of the apple as a fruit for love and rebirth, while others consider it a forbidden fruit that brings despondency and discord to the home.

People are accustomed to considering an apple a symbol of a strong family. He is often remembered in folk songs and proverbs. One of them is about the forbidden fruit, which always seems sweet. The origins of the expression are in the Bible. We are talking about an apple from the Garden of Eden, with which Eve was tempted and which subsequently became the cause of the Fall and the expulsion of the first people from paradise. Despite the background, the fruit is still considered the personification of heavenly pleasure and love.

They didn’t forget about the apple at the wedding feast. Particular importance was attached to the fruit itself and the branches of the tree. It was believed that the fetus is a symbol of the girl’s consent to the marriage proposal. It was customary to decorate the festive table at a wedding with apple blossoms.

Apple figurines completely replicate the outline of a real fruit. This is a large, life-size fruit with a branch and leaf made of silver, gold or the same onyx. The most popular apples are green, white, red and golden.
