What is an Onyx?

Onyx is a type of gemstone that is naturally coloured black. It is made up of the mineral chalcedony and is prized for its rich, deep black colour and smooth, polished finish. Onyx is often used in jewellery as a way to add a touch of sophistication and elegance to a piece. It is also believed to have healing properties and is sometimes worn as a way to promote strength and grounding.

Onyx is rated on the "Four Cs" scale to determine its value. The "Four Cs" are cut, clarity, colour, and carat weight. Onyx is typically graded on a scale from poor to excellent based on the intensity of its colour, the presence of inclusions or blemishes, and the quality of its cut. Onyx with a more intense, uniform colour and fewer inclusions or blemishes is generally more valuable.

Onyx is found in a variety of locations around the world, including Argentina, Brazil, and India. It has a long history of use in jewellery, dating back to ancient times when it was used by the Greeks and Romans as a healing stone. Onyx was also mentioned in the Bible and is believed to be a protector against injuries, bad luck, and even the wrath of the gods. Today, it is widely mined and marketed for use in a variety of jewellery and decorative items.
