Did you know?
The name of this gemstone comes from the Greek "Onyx" meaning "nail" or "claw". This fine black stone, formerly known as a "semi-precious stone", has been in great demand for many centuries.
In Egypt, for example, researchers have discovered bowls cut entirely from onyx dating back to the 2nd Dynasty.
Black onyx stone is not originally black. It is treated by being immersed in a solution of black sugar and acid. The soft, porous nature of the stone allows the solution to soak in. After immersion, the stone is then heated. This is a common process that makes the color deeper and longer-lasting.
