Sardonyx is a stone that will help immensely to bring some order into your life. For times when you experience a loss of willpower and cannot find the motivation to work towards a goal, Sardonyx crystals will help you regain some direction in life.

Additionally, the stones are known for their grounding energies as they work with the earth star and the root chakra. This quality of the Sardonyx will help you develop a better sense of focus and pay full attention to the task at hand.

In essence, the stone is beneficial for jobs that demand a great deal of willpower and mental discipline. The stone is also useful when it comes to developing self-control

Moreover, the stone is believed to aid one’s thinking process and decision-making abilities, owing to the strong vibration it has with the third eye chakra and the crown chakra, both of which are essential for a person’s intuition.

Such powers will further help you when it comes to taking in new information and retaining it so that you can put newly found knowledge to good use later on in life. Interestingly, the stone also encourages the person using it to focus on virtues and promote integrity.

People working in jobs that demand creativity and intellect will find it especially useful to keep a Sardonyx with them because the energies emitted from the stone focus on your mind and beckon you to think outside the box.

With the use of Sardonyx, you can expect a lot more stability in your life as well as in the forces that are continuously working within you. Its invigorating energies will work on your sense of perception, further bolstering it so that you are alert and well-aware of all that you are sensing around you.

It also heals the essential sensory organs and boosts your sense of smell, hearing, sight, and touch. Other physical benefits of Sardonyx include the regulation of metabolism and bodily fluids, as well as the maintenance of intestinal health and smoother cleansing of the body. Due to its cleansing properties, the Sardonyx will clear out any blockages in your system and purify the impurities

Instead of just going with the flow of life and being pushed and pulled in several wavering directions with no purpose, Sardonyx will help keep you on track.

The stone will also make you realise the importance of doing a task whole-heartedly if you wish to be successful in it, which means that you need to handle one task at a time instead of taking too much on your plate.

Once you get into the habit of completing one task with full focus, you will find it easier to move on to the next one with a sense of purpose.

Students will find it especially helpful to keep a Sardonyx stone in their surroundings because it will boost their concentration level and enable them to pick up things faster and more efficiently.

Since the stone is known to boost your sense of virtue, it will lead you to the path of becoming a better person. You will notice a change in your overall outlook towards the world and to other people. Additionally, the stone will cleanse your spirit, which in turn will encourage you to treat others with kindness, respect, and friendliness.

Keeping this stone with you will give you the confidence to put yourself out there and work towards achieving all your goals while keeping you well-protected and focused on the right track.

These are my choice of crystals for Virgo energy. I have chosen stones that help with focus, being grounded, clarity, and organisation which are all well known Virgo strengths.   

with love and light xoxo Elizabeth
