Overview

Black Onyx Pendant Large.

Onyx comes from the Greek word "claw" or "fingernail" because it often contains veins that resemble the colours of a fingernail. Originally Onyx was the name that the Romans used for a variety of marble having white and yellow veins. Onyx was very popular with the Romans who made Onyx seals with carved reversed patterns in negative raised relief and cameo brooches.

The myth of the origin of Onyx says that the goddess Venus was resting on the banks of the Indus River. As she slept, Cupid used the point of one of his enchanted arrows to give her a manicure. The parings of her nails then fell into the waters of the sacred river. Since the nails were of heavenly origin, they sank to the river bottom and were metamorphosed into Onyx.
