A powder or liquid poison was stored in these instances. In other cases, the poison ring was used to facilitate the suicide of the wearer in order to preclude capture or torture.[3] People more commonly died from suicide rather than murder caused by the poison ring.[4] The purpose of the compartment in the ring was not only limited to poison. Rings with such compartments were long before used for other reasons, before, during, and after the peak of poison rings. Black Onyx is widely known as a powerful protection stone.
