Green Onyx

Green Onyx

Green onyx is a type of chalcedony quartz that is characterized by its deep green color and translucent to opaque appearance. Green onyx is primarily found in countries such as India, Brazil, Pakistan, and Madagascar. It forms in the veins and cavities of igneous rocks, often alongside other minerals such as calcite, quartz, and agate.

The most notable characteristic of green onyx is its rich green hue, which can range from light to dark shades. The color is typically uniform throughout the stone, although variations in tone and intensity may occur. Green onyx has a smooth and polished texture, with a glossy or waxy luster that enhances its visual appeal.

While some specimens of green onyx are translucent and allow light to pass through, others may appear opaque, depending on the stone's composition and how it is cut and polished. Like other varieties of onyx, green onyx may exhibit unique banding, veining, or mottling patterns caused by the presence of impurities or mineral deposits. These patterns can add visual interest and depth to the stone.

Green onyx is commonly available in various shapes and sizes, including cabochons, beads, and carved ornaments. It is also frequently used in jewelry settings such as rings, pendants, and earrings due to its attractive color and durability. Overall, green onyx is prized for its vibrant green coloration and smooth texture, making it a popular choice for both decorative objects and jewelry pieces.
