BEAUTIFUL LARGE SARDONYX - POLISHED FREE FORM
SIZE: 62 x 48 x 35mm
WEIGHT: 140.1g
ORIGIN: Africa
Sardonyx is a banded variety of chalcedony which is cryptocrystalline quartz. The colours
of its bands are white and brownish-red.
Onyx was very popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans. The name comes from the Greek word
onux, meaning fingernail. The story is that one day frisky Cupid cut the divine fingernails
of Venus with an arrowhead while she was sleeping. He left the clippings scattered on the
sand and the fates turned them into stone so that no part of the heavenly body would ever
perish. Sardonyx is believed to stimulate self-control and protection.
