Apple - forbidden fruit
There is a well-known saying that forbidden fruit is always sweet. According to the Bible, the apple gave people knowledge, the ability to distinguish between good and evil. But it also led the first people on earth to the Fall.
Eve not only dared to pick and taste this fruit, but also to give it to Adam. The consequence turned out to be terrible - expulsion to earth from paradise. Nevertheless, the apple also personifies heavenly bliss. Many researchers believe that the name of the legendary island of Avalon means “apple” in translation from the Welsh (Welsh, Cymric) language.

Many Russian folk tales also tell about the ability of such fruits to restore and preserve youth.

Magical properties of the frog
A frog is an amphibian that can be found both on land and in water. The frog figurine will protect its owner from various “swampy” situations. She will bring good luck and luck in business. For a novice businessman who is just planning to make his first transactions, such a talisman will bring success in business. But you need to remember that the frog does not like unnecessary eyes and touches; the best place for the figurine is a desk drawer or a shelf in a cabinet behind a glass door. It is believed that you need to touch the frog figurine with your hands soaked in fresh water, then success is guaranteed.
It is no coincidence that the frog helps in money matters, because its relative the toad symbolizes abundance according to Feng Shui.
But the most important purpose of the frog is not wealth, but love and fertility. If you remember Russian fairy tales, a very beautiful and wise girl, a princess, was turned into a frog. This is no coincidence. Here the frog symbolizes not the fertility of the soil, but women’s health and reproductive function. Every woman has a destiny - to become a loved one, a wife, a mother. But due to poor ecology, poor lifestyle, and psychological aspects, the long-awaited pregnancy does not occur for everyone. A talisman in the shape of a frog will help you achieve what you want, will protect its owner while waiting for the baby, and will protect you from difficult childbirth.
The figure also retains youth and beauty. There is a belief that such a talisman will preserve the family hearth if the wife owns it. The husband will never even look at the opposite sex and will not leave the family. And if there is a divorce or your significant other arranges their personal life on the side, then the frog will help you more easily survive the collapse in your personal life and build happiness with a new person. The talisman can be made from any material: wood, stone, glass. But it’s best when the amulet is made of a stone that has magical properties. Or made of metal - gold or silver. It is better to purchase an onyx frog mascot.
Elephant
An elephant figurine made from this stone has a deep sacred meaning. Despite the fact that we are accustomed to consider these giants to be very kind and even timid creatures, our ancestors would not agree with us. Looking at the elephant's power, incredible memory, kindness, help to the pack and majesty, in Africa and India it was recognized as a real king among all animals.
The symbol of the lion as a king appeared much later, when the population of herbivores began to decline and the number of predators began to increase.
The largest animal on land was often used as an image for a talisman. An onyx elephant was considered a good gift for a ruler or a high-ranking official or manager, since such a gift combined the leader’s stone and the symbol of the king. It has been time-tested that such a figurine will help you make the right decisions that will affect the destinies of many people, as well as remain calm and reasonable even during times of severe stress.
An important point is the choice of the option with a raised or pubescent trunk. The meaning of an elephant talisman with a raised trunk is wealth, with a lowered one – protection from negativity.
It is best to place the figurine in your office on the table or, if you prefer to keep it at home, in the place where the computer is or where the papers are. When you choose a husband, do not allow him to place it near the family bed or in your bedroom in general. Since the elephant figurine will sow discord, under its influence you will begin to quarrel over the position of the head of the family, which can even lead to divorce.
Magical properties of onyx
Onyx is a unique stone with unusual properties. There is a legend that the Greek gods created this stone from the nails of Aphrodite. Aphrodite lost the nails on two fingers of her left hand when Eros cut them off. Since then, such a beautiful stone has appeared on Earth, symbolizing love. The color range of onyx is very wide, it varies from light striped shades to almost black colors. Depending on the color, the magical properties also change:
- helps in solving problems;
- plain onyx helps to gain patience and endurance;
- striped onyx pacifies anger.
Properties of onyx frog
The green onyx frog talisman has the following meaning: to solve the problem of infertility in both men and women. For women, he grants easy pregnancy and childbirth. A frog made of dark, almost black, onyx helps its owner to concentrate and make the right decision in business, make a profitable deal and protect himself from failure in financial matters.
The striped frog helps to find true love and find family happiness. The frog itself helps in love affairs, and if the talisman is made of striped onyx, then this doubles its magical power.
Onyx frog means health. Onyx has a beneficial effect on the respiratory tract, improves the functioning of the liver and kidneys - this refers to the red and white varieties of the stone, which is also called carnelian. White-gray stone improves the condition of skin, nails and hair. And for people who work in a field where they have to talk a lot and prove their point of view, for example, in court, it helps to develop eloquence.
A frog is an amphibian that needs water and land. Likewise, the talisman needs water. The onyx frog loves to be wiped with a damp cloth and does not tolerate dust.
If the amulet becomes dusty, its protective and magical properties are reduced. Onyx absorbs negative energy and human ailments, so a frog made from this material should be washed under running water at least once a month.
How to distinguish an original from a fake
Black onyx cabochon
Onyxes, despite their availability, are still counterfeited. You can identify the unnaturalness of a stone like this:
- Check his weight. It should be quite heavy compared to common counterfeit materials - glass and plastic.
- Estimate thermal conductivity. Natural stone absorbs the heat of the human hand very slowly and reluctantly.
- Check hardness. A true striped gem cannot be scratched by a needle or a blade.
- Assess brightness. If the color of the stone is too bright, then one can suspect that its coloring is artificial, since the color of natural onyx is always soft and muted.
- Compare prices. Amazing cheapness (especially of black onyxes, they are most often counterfeited) is a sign of deception on the part of the seller.
Talisman in relation to zodiac signs
Aries by their nature are very hot-tempered, they quickly cool down, but quickly light up in a fit of argument or in a fit of anger, they can mess things up or get into an unpleasant situation. A talisman in the form of an onyx frog will bring peace to its owner, pacify his hot temper, and help him make decisions adequately and calmly. When communicating with business partners, Aries will become more balanced, and in love they will not make hasty decisions. But Aries should not buy frogs in green, blue and bluish shades. They are contraindicated for them. It is better to stick to the reddish shades of onyx.
It is very difficult for Taurus to make decisions, so the onyx frog will help stimulate his determination and force him to work. Onyx is energetically suitable for earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn). The frog will help Virgo get rid of excessive suspiciousness, become more open and get closer to people. The onyx frog helps Capricorns become more collected, get rid of confusion, and collect their thoughts.
For representatives of the water element, the onyx frog can become a powerful amulet; it will bring good luck not only in financial and love affairs, but also protect against accidents and protect against serious illnesses. Cancers, Scorpios and Pisces are from the same element as the amphibian frog, and onyx is close to them in spirit. For other zodiac signs, an onyx frog can be an excellent energy boost. Depending on the color, the talisman will bring good luck in certain matters.
The only zodiac sign for which an onyx talisman is contraindicated is Gemini. This zodiac sign is too versatile, its nature is dual. And onyx will limit his actions. Geminis can have a figurine in the form of an onyx frog in their arsenal, but use it extremely rarely: when there is a need to focus on some serious matter or problem, or when it is necessary to urgently make an important decision.
In addition to the frog figurine, turtle, toad and elephant figurines are popular around the world. The turtle is a very ancient symbol of good luck and cosmic energy, which is designed to strengthen people’s thoughts and materialize them to fulfill their desires. The turtle, like the frog, is also used to improve the financial situation of the family and troubleshoot career problems. In ancient times, it was believed that the land was a huge turtle that swam in the ocean, and all of nature was located on the back of the turtle. Therefore, an onyx tortoise will be a strong talisman against all ailments and adversities.
The toad figurine is designed to improve the financial affairs of any person. If you place it in the hallway of an apartment or near the entrance door to an office, it will attract money into your home or business. You cannot place a figurine of a toad near an open window or vent: the wind can carry the money to another house, to another hearth, then the toad will cease to perform its functions of attracting money. In ancient times, the king of beasts was considered not the lion, but the elephant, because it is the largest animal on land. An elephant amulet will help you make wise decisions and help you remain peaceful and calm. The elephant is the head of all living beings. The amulet will acquire full power near the head of the family: in his office or on his desk. You should not place an elephant near the bed, it can cause discord in the family. Husband and wife will begin to fight for leadership in the family.
Whatever the amulets, they need to be selected correctly. You need to consider what material they are made of and what shape they have. But the most important thing is that the amulet should be sweet to its owner, please his eye, and warm his soul. Then the talisman will protect the owner and bring him luck and prosperity.

Dog
Since the time of the taming of the wolf, the dog has remained a faithful companion, guard and protector in every sense. This loyal animal is capable of sacrificing itself for the good of its owner and does not attack the one who tamed it. The onyx dog, like its living prototype, also has in its meaning the main symbol of protection.

This is both protection from dark magical influences (evil eye, damage, lapel, love spell), and physical protection.

Compatibility with other stones
Green onyx beads
Energetically strong onyx does not like being placed next to other gems in decoration. He will suppress their influence in every possible way, spending his strength on it.
The effect of many jewelry (pearls, amethyst, ruby and others) is aimed at relaxing the owner. Onyx activates leadership qualities, stimulates activity, composure and constant readiness for action. Therefore, it is not wise to use such stones in one piece of jewelry.
It is especially worth avoiding combining a striped gem with fire stones - diamond, garnet, red tourmaline and others. Their proximity can completely nullify the effect of onyx or lead to the release of accumulated negative energy towards the owner.
