Black Onyx

Science & Origin

Black Onyx, first formally classified in the 1st century but scientifically detailed in the 18th century, is a banded variety of Chalcedony composed of Silicon and Oxygen. It crystallizes in the Trigonal system and exhibits a waxy to vitreous luster. Its deep black color is produced by the presence of Iron and Carbon inclusions. The alternating banded layers within Onyx reflect the cyclic rhythm of growth and transformation within the Earth. Black Onyx’s microcrystalline lattice provides a steady and grounding frequency.
