About Onyx
Onyx is a type of chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz) with straight, parallel bands of colour, which sets it apart from agate's curved bands.
Hardness
7 (Mohs)
Everyday wear
Onyx has "excellent" wearability and makes exceptionally durable jewellery for everyday wear.
Care
Clean onyx only with a soft brush, mild detergent and warm water, and avoid ultrasonic or other mechanical cleaners; prolonged strong sunlight may fade dyed stones.
Meaning and tradition
Onyx folklore is famously sombre: Victorians used it in mourning jewellery, and its red-and-white cousin sardonyx was traditionally worn to lift melancholy. Many people today simply love its classic "basic black" look.
Meanings and traditions are beliefs people have held about these stones, not proven effects, and are no substitute for medical advice.
