What is Onyx?


Onyx is usually used to describe the color of a stone but it is actually a gemstone. The word onyx meaning fingernail comes from the Greek times when colors from white to black were considered onyx and later the Romans used the term strictly for describing dark colors of black and deep brown. This precious gemstone is usually combined with pearls in a jewelry design and can also be carved for other spiritual designs. Onyx adds a rich look to any piece of jewelry. Onyx can be found in Brazil, Madagascar, and India. This stone is the alternate birthstone for February, and is even the mystical birthstone for December. Another interesting fact about this precious gemstone is that it is a good luck charm for those who have the astrological sign Leo.
