Description
Onyx (SiO2) is the striped, semiprecious variety of agate (a type of chalcedony; microcrystalline quartz) with white and black alternating bands. As with other chalcedonies, onyx forms from the deposition of silica at low temperatures from silica-rich waters percolating through cracks and fissures in other rocks. Onyx is popular for carved cameos and intaglios because its layers can be cut to show a color contrast. Natural onyx comes from India and South America. Onyx derives its name from the Greek onux, meaning “nail” or “claw,” in allusion to the mineral's color.
