How to Use It
A stone bowl only becomes useful once it has a fixed job. Pick one and it will do it for decades.
- Decide its purpose before you place it: offerings, crystals, jewellery or keys. Bowls without a job collect clutter.
- Set it where daylight can reach the rim at some point in the day — that is when the translucence shows.
- If you are using it on an altar, fill and empty it deliberately rather than letting things accumulate.
- Wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Onyx is a carbonate stone — acidic cleaners will etch it.
- Keep vinegar, citrus and descaler well away from it.

✨ Temple Tip
Do not use it for water, fruit or anything acidic. Onyx is a soft carbonate — a slice of lemon left overnight will leave a dull mark that no amount of polishing brings back. Dry offerings only.
