Black 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. Onyx was cut and carved as a gemstone by the Ancient Greeks and
Romans in cameos. Intaglio etchings (negative relief engravings) were also made
from onyx. These carvings showcase the banding of onyx.
Rsoe Chalcedony is a
demure crystal, subtle and mystic, cool and serene, ethereal yet solid. It has
an inviting, softblue translucence,
and an almost imperceptible movement within the stone that invokes a stillness of silent reverence. It's
calming, and speaks of spirit and trust
