Call Me Black Onyx

I am revered by the Ancient Greeks
I caw and crow silently, yet steadily 
I am divine, unique and marvelously gorgeous. 

Venus understood my healing properties
Cupid not so much
He aided me on my journey to this earth planet 

I am a well-known healer
I am positivity
I am will power

I bring the calm
I bring ancient wisdom
I bring strength 

Call me black onyx
For that is my name….

Fine writing, Caren. I'm thinking I should be wearing a black onyx ring. I may be. I have this platinum ring that was made in Iran in 1943 and brought here by my father-in-law. Of all his things I discovered, I wear it. It has a black center with something Muslim carved into it. I think it must be onyx. People ask me about it, but I don't know the story.
