I just got a black onyx..

I just got a black onyx ring from an antquites place and now i'm wearing it.
I have been for the whole day and I'm pretty sure I'm acting weird. I keep being incredibly negative and i usually try to be nice... I searched online to see if the ring might be causing me to let go of my emotions and it came up saying black onyx helps to release negative emotions but, I nearly punched someone today because they made me really mad and I'm usually under control... I'm just afraid I might actually hurt someone... I don't know if it's the ring or me... any help is appreciated....

Well, I've found that when I get a crystal of some sort, I need to cleanse it before I wear it. That helps get rid of any nagative energy I might have held onto.

Other than that, keep an eye on your behaviour and try to figure out why you might be acting so hostile. It may not be due to the ring at all.

well...it also has mocassite in it but i don't know if it does anything... thank you for the info though.

I searchedmocassite to no avail, but there is a crystal called Marcasite. Is that the one you are referring to?

Marcasite itself good for focus and relaxation.

If it just influences your mood then you'll be fine.

It can't do anything to influence actions.

yes, Marcassite. Sorry I must've misspelled it without realizing it.

there are 21 small marcassite around the black onyx the whole ring is in the shape of a diamond... 1 of the places where a marcassite would probably be is empty... and the ring looks pretty old to me... I think the rest of the ring is made of silver but i don't believe sterling... the circle part of the ring where you put it on the buttom is kinda bent a bit...

As I've said before, a nice cleansing might do you well. The ring doesn't seem like it would cause much harm by itself other than possibly holding onto some negativity.

Other than that, assess yourself outside of any influence from the ring. It is more likely that you were just having a bad day or were surrounded by negative attitudes, affecting your own.

Because marcasite and black onyx are usually connotated with blocking/absorbing negative energy, it probably is just an issue with cleansing rather than the stones theirselves, as said by RhiSabelle. Stones that are effective in the absorbstion of any negative energy need to be cleansed a lot more often than others, as there might be some buildup.

For black onyx, the best way to cleanse is probably with salt or sage. Of course you could just cleanse it yourself if you are able to, but I would recommend a supplement.
