WHAT IS ONYX?

onyx stone

Onyx is a mineral, like granite, quartzite, and marble. Onyx is part of the chalcedony family of coloured quartz. It is a unique stone that features layered bands of colour. While generally thought of as being solid black, onyx actually ranges in colour from white to black and may display white bands or ribbons. 

Onyx has a Mohs hardness rating of 6.5‐7.0, making it suitable for daily wear. When an image is carved into the onyx, the colour of the next band shows through. Onyx is opaque, meaning no light shines through it, and is often smooth‐cut into a cabochon. Onyx beads are also a popular use for this versatile gemstone.

Most onyx is dyed to make its color uniform. It is also heat treated to bring out its color intensity. These two enhancements do not lower its value. All onyx jewelry is relatively inexpensive. The metal it is set in will cost more than the actual onyx
stone itself.

Onyx is only found in three places: Mexico, Arizona and Algeria.
