Onyx is the Mystical birthstone for the month of December. It is also the birthstone for the Zodiac
sign of Leo. Onyx is also given on the 7th and 10th wedding anniversary.
Onyx is chalcedony quartz that is mined in Brazil, India, California and Uruguay. It has a fine
texture and black color; however some onyx also displays white bands or ribbons against a black or
brown background and this variety is known as sardonyx.
The name comes from the Greek word onyx, which means nail of a finger or claw. Legend says that one
day while Venus was sleeping Eros/Cupid cut her fingernails and left the clippings scattered on the
ground. Because no part of a heavenly body can die, the gods turned them into stone, which later
became known as onyx.
Originally, almost all colors 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 onyx that come in white, reddish brown, brown and banded. A variety of onyx that is
reddish brown with white and lighter reddish bands is known as sardonyx. A 6.5 on the scale of
hardness, onyx is a very good stone for use in carving.
Most Black Onyx that is commercially available today is color enhanced (heated and dyed) to
increase its depth of color.
