Onyx is black and white banded agate (cryptocrystalline or chalcedony quartz). It should not to be confused with onyx marble, which is limestone. The banding of onyx is parallel and consistent. Some varieties of onyx differ in color, such as sard onyx, which has a brown base and white upper layer, cornelian onyx, which has a red base and white upper layer, and niccolo onyx, which has a very thin upper layer, allowing the black base color to show through as grey or blue. Onyx takes its name from the Greek word "onux", which means fingernail; this could be due to a Greek legend, in which Eros mischievously cut the fingernails of Aphrodite with an arrowhead whilst she slept, and the gods turned the clippings into stone.
If
Rutilated Quartz has made an appearance in your life, remember that it chose
you, not the other way around. Set aside your self-doubt and fears and listen
to its guidance from the other side.
Its shimmery finish has inspired ancient legends associated with the Rutilated
Quartz crystal meaning. Also called Venus's hair stone after its fine golden
hairs, the ancients were drawn to its glistening luster, a distinctive
characteristic that was incorporated into jewelry for that extra touch of
glamour and sparkle.
