Onyx: Onyx is a Chalcedony Quartz that is mined in Brazil, India, California and Uruguay. It has a fine texture and black colour. However, some Onyx also displays white bands or ribbons against a black or brown background and this variety is known as "Sardonyx
Originally, almost all colours of Chalcedony from white to dark brown and black were called "Onyx". Today when we think of Onyx we often preface the word with "black" to distinguish it from other varieties of that come in white, reddish brown, brown and banded. Onyx registers 6.5 on the Moh’s scale of hardness. Most of the Black Onyx that is commercially available today is colour enhanced (heated and dyed) to increase its depth of colour.
Onyx is one of the birth stones listed for the zodiac sign of Leo. It is also the mystical birthstone for the month of December and the stone representing the tenth wedding anniversary. Onyx is said to separate and help release negative emotions such as sorrow and grief. It is worn to defend against negativity and Black Onyx is said to have protective energies in the sense that black is the absence of light, and therefore, can be used to create invisibility. It is also believed to fortify self confidence and responsibility, sharpen your senses and encourage a healthy self esteem
The name derives from the Greek word "onyx" which means "fingernail" or "claw".
