Onyx - a symbol of eloquence.
Birthstone:Onyx is the birthstone of Leo (Lion): July 23 - Aug 22.
Wedding anniversary: Onyx is the anniversary gemstone for the 7th year of marriage.
Black Onyx is the anniversary gemstone for the 10th year of marriage.
The name's origin: The word onyx is derived from the Greek, Sard meaning "reddish brown," and onyx meaning "veined gem." The name onyx was used by the Romans for a variety of stones including alabaster
and what is now known as onyx marble. Roman soldiers wore onyx
talismans engraved with heroes such as Hercules or Mars, god of war.
They believed that the stone would make the wearer as brave and daring
as the figured carved on it. During the Renaissance, sardonyx was
believed to bring eloquence upon the wearer and was regarded with great
value by public speakers and orators.
Cameos are cut from stones, such as ONYX OR AGATE where different colors occur in layers. The background material is cut
away, leaving the cameo design in relief. Onyx is also used in
intaglios because its layers can be cut to show a color contrast
between the design and the background.
