Onyx Throughout History
posted by StoneFoxy 1:55 PM 12/05/2009
Used in jewelry and as a home décor accent, onyx has a wide variety of uses. A form of quartz, onyx is typically thought of as wholly black, but it actually comes in an entire range of colors. While black is indeed the most common variety, onyx with bands of color is also possible. The name “onyx” actually derives from the Greek word for claw or fingernail. Demonstrating its range of color, it was so named because of its flesh tone color.
Onyx today is most known for its use in jewelry, and as such, it is common to see everything from a black onyx ring to colored onyx pendants. Its use, however, extends back to the Greeks and Romans. There is evidence of onyx being utilized in art forms at Crete, and it was also incorporated into pottery and bowls in Egypt. These instances date back as far as the Second Dynasty. For the biblical adherent, onyx will be recognized as having been referenced in Exodus 25.
