Uncolored Onyx is often very difficult to find in choker parts and pierced stone parts, as a completely jet black stone is usually desired for optical reasons.
In these drilled freeform stone parts, the light quartz veins are clearly visible in the black Onyx.
The choker parts made of Onyx are about 50mm in size and have a bore of about 2.5mm.
Onyx is used in stone healing to strengthen logic, control and reasoning power; self-awareness and sense of responsibility are supported.
The name Onyx is derived from the Greek word "onyx" meaning "nail"; presumably this name, which has been in use for many centuries, refers to the surface of the polished stone, which resembles shiny fingernails. Spellings like onix or onyk are therefore not correct.
