Originally, almost all colors of chalcedony from white to dark brown and black were called onyx (SiO2 with impurities). Today when we think of onyx we often preface the word with black to distinguish it from other varieties of onyx that come in white, reddish brown, brown and banded.A variety of onyx that is reddish brown with white and lighter reddish bands is known as sardonyx. Onyx is a form of chalcedony, part of the quartz group.he name comes from the Greek word onyx which means nail of a finger or claw. Legend says that one day while Venus was sleeping Eros/Cupid cut her fingernails and left the clippings scattered on the ground. Because no part of a heavenly body can die, the gods turned them into stone which later became known as onyx.
Onyx is a type of very fragile marble, a metamorphic stone. Onyx is translucent, meaning it can be seen through if held to the light or lit from behind, and extremely variable in color and pattern.
