admin answers:
From: www.jewelrysupplier.com
A semiprecious variety of chalcedony quartz that is a used often in jewelry. When chalcedony is variegated with spots or figures, or arranged in differently colored layers, it is called agate; and if by reason of the thickness, color, and arrangement of the layers it is suitable for being carved into cameos, it is called onyx. White Onyx, a semi-translucent white to slightly yellowish-white stone, was often used as a background in Victorian jewelry, especially for cameos.
Nancy asks…
Is onyx a black and white banded agate or a black chalcedony?
Which one is the more correct description
admin answers:
Agate is a completely different type of semi-precious stone. Also, onyx is generally jet black, so it would have to be a black chalcedony
