Onyx primarily refers to the parallel banded variety of the silicate mineral chalcedony. Agate and
onyx are both varieties of layered chalcedony that differ only in the form of the bands: agate
has curved bands and onyx has parallel bands. The colors of its bands range
from black to almost every color. Commonly, specimens of onyx contain bands of
black and/or white. Onyx, as a descriptive term, has also been applied to
parallel banded varieties of alabaster, marble, obsidian and opal, and
misleadingly to materials with contorted banding, such as "Cave Onyx"
and "Mexican Onyx” Metal : 925 Sterling Silver and Bronze (yellow parts) Gemstones : Onyx Product weight :15,00 gr
