Onyx

It is certainly one of the most strength-giving stones, particularly useful during times of mental or physical stress.

Jade

This stone, much prized in the Orient, is a symbol of purity and serenity. It is believed to attract good fortune and friendship. Emotionally, jade is a _dream stone_, aiding emotional release and dispelling irritability. The crystal further aids the body_s filtration and elimination organs, particularly the kidneys.
