Get to Know Onyx

At the Online Gemstone Beads, you can choose from a wide collection of both green & black onyx beads. Onyx is a type of chalcedony quartz with a Mohs hardness rating of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale. This particular gemstone is cryptocrystalline, meaning that it can only be viewed under a microscope to see the fine crystal composition of quartz and morganite. Onyx has an eye-catching, waxy sheen which turns glassy when polished. This mesmerizing stone is mined from different places around the world such as Australia, China, India, Madagascar and Mexico.

Onyx, a banded stone, was named after the Greek word onuks (ὄνυξ), meaning "fingernail". This is because its raw form has a transparency that looks like the flesh-tone color of fingernails. According to Ancient Egyptians, this stone had the ability to detach oneself from earthly desires and become more self-sufficient. Later on, Roman poets declared that it was made up of Venus’ nails which were clipped by Cupid.

We have a great selection of onyx beads in different sizes, designs, and colors including black & green. Our onyx can be perfect for you when it comes to finding craft solutions. Mystics and spiritualists have long seen onyx as a source of strength and support. They believe it radiates the energy of perseverance, thus allowing you to trust your intuition and become more independent in your daily life.
