Onyx, a stone traditionally used in jewelry, is a beautiful addition to any stonework in homes and offices. This stone comes in a variety of colors, although black is generally the best known, and can even be dyed to hues not found naturally.

Onyx has traditionally been used to create jewelry including cameos and beads, but also can be incredibly beautiful when included in stonework for homes and offices. With a waxy and smooth appearance, onyx is aesthetically pleasing and was even thought to have mystical healing powers in some cultures.

A Colorful Choice

Onyx is a form of quartz and occurs naturally in a variety of colors. Although most people generally think of black when they think of onyx, black onyx is only one of several colors that occur naturally of this stone. The most commonly occurring form is banded in nature, and other common colors include white, brown, and reddish brown. As the stone can be found naturally in a translucent form, it is also often dyed to colors that do not occur naturally such as blue or purple. In this way, it is possible to find nearly any color of onyx you seek!

Uniquely Yours

The banding patterns that occur during the formation of this stone make each one completely unique. Even when dyed, the stone retains its natural shading and patterns.
