Formation & Mineralogy
Onyx belongs to the quartz family, specifically the chalcedony group, and forms from layers of fine quartz crystals. The characteristic black color is created by mineral additives such as iron and manganese. Onyx is found worldwide, with significant deposits in Brazil, India, and Uruguay. Each tumbled stone is a natural unique piece shaped by geological processes over thousands of years.
