I was just wondering. Other stones have various colors. But I've never seen onyx in a different color other than black. Is it the only color of onyx?

A chalcedony that occurs in bands of different colors and is used as a gemstone, especially in cameos and intaglios.

Black onyx is obviously always black, but there are various shades of onyx. For jewelry purposed, I believe black is the normal choice. I used to wear black onyx all the time. Now amethyst is my stone of choice.

Yes me too. I forgot that there is such a rich diversity of product offerings in the fine jewelry home accesory market. Some of these pieces can really dress up a room. Like the eggs and the candy boxes.

It looks like a cake with a thin layer of chocolate on it.. I never heard about this before. Do you think it is valuable? Well I have no idea where it comes from ..

That's what you call beautiful? I really hate them. They don't have a nice looking and they are only black. Do you really think they are great guano apes? For me, it is valuable and surely not so beautiful for a lady. I hope you get the answer Epica. I mean the valuable part. Sorry but it's just to ugly.
