Onyx

Onyx was extremely popular with the Greeks and Romans, who derived the name Onyx from the Greek word for fingernail: onux. Black onyx comes in Brownish black to black and opaque and is composed of banded Silicon Dioxide.

Onyx looks best and shines beautifully when set against a backdrop of color in an onyx ring or combined with pearls for an ebony/ivory look..

The texture of onyx makes it ideal for carving and is the choice material among lapidary artists. Black onyx is found worldwide but is most common in Brazil, Madagascar, and India. Onyx is often heated to enhance and deepen the black color.
