Onyx is a variety of chalcedony quartz that features deposits of fine parallel lines. This gives it a banded appearance with colour patterns similar to agate or earthy tones like basalt. The name onyx comes from the Greek word “onux” which means fingernail because its colour pattern resembles fingernails.

Onyx has been used since ancient times as a talisman against evil spirits, protection against nightmares and bad dreams, as well as being used in jewellery making to protect against injury while travelling.
