Onyx

Stone Character

Onyx is a banded variety of chalcedony. Black onyx is especially familiar in jewelry, although commercially available black material may be processed to achieve a more uniform color.

Across Cultures & Symbolism

Onyx has a long history in carved objects, seals, cameos and jewelry across several regions. Its dark, polished appearance has made it a recurring material in formal and symbolic design.

Contemporary symbolic traditions commonly connect onyx with protection, strength, discipline and confidence. These associations are cultural and symbolic rather than scientific or medical claims.
