Onyx
| Black Onyx: Black Onyx is a chalcedony, a form of quartz known for its deep black color and smooth texture. | |
|---|---|
| Occurrences | It is a popular gemstone, often used in combination with other gemstones and metals. The stone has been popular for centuries and is valued in many cultures for its mysterious and elegant appearance. Black onyx is associated with the zodiac sign of Capricorn and is associated with the root chakra. It is believed that the stone can help increase self-confidence and inner strength and ward off negative energies. The stone is often used in jewelry and amulets to protect and strengthen its wearer. Black onyx has a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, meaning it's relatively hard and scratch resistant. There are different variants of black onyx, including multicolored variants such as sardonyx. |
| Fake | Is the onyx often counterfeited? Onyx is one of the stones that is usually not real onyx in the trade. Usually black agate (colored) or obsidian (not colored, but a slightly different mineral) sold as onyx. This is simply because black is black and now a black stone in a piece of jewelry is simply called onyx as a trade name, regardless of authenticity and mineralogy. "Onyx" now simply means "a black gemstone" in international trade. Also beads that are sold as onyx are mostly obsidian or, if you are unlucky, just black colored agate. It's also very difficult to see with a black stone. |
