Onyx is the Greek word for claw or fingernail because these veins resemble the colors of a fingernail. Onyx was used widely in the past as bases and handles for gold items, as well as for stone inlay work. Onyx is formed by the deposition of silica in gas cavities in lava, which results in the distinctive bands or stripes we see in the stone. They come in varied shades of red, orange, and brown, which often alternate with striking bands of white. Pearls are now preferred to diamonds - for a long time, then, they were thought of as a badge of respectability. Literally hundreds of oysters have to be opened before one is found with a pearl. They improve with wear, picking up faint traces of oil from your skin - so rub them with soft chamois leather rather than washing them.
