GEMOLOGY
Onyx is a type of chalcedony, which is itself a form of microcrystalline quartz. Onyxes have straight, nearly parallel bands or layers of colour, which allow skilled gem carvers to cut away material to create cameos and intaglios. Since Onyxes have very thin colour layers, sometimes dyes may be used once the gemstone has been cut and shaped, to produce a uniform colour. Dyes can be used to enhance or change the colour completely. Chalcedony is extremely porous, so it readily absorbs dyes. Black Onyxes are dyed by soaking greyish slabs of chalcedony in a sugar solution and then heating them in sulfuric acid.
Onyx has spiritual properties that improve mental strength and expel excess, unwanted energy. It is said to be able to help break bad habits, take charge of destiny and guard against negative energies.
Diamonds are a solid form of carbon and have the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any natural material. These stones have incredible durability and resistance against scratches and breakage from impacts. Diamond has high optical dispersion qualities, to help disperse an array of colours and to give off that sparkle. The intensity of the sparkle is assisted by the type of cut, by varying the number of facets. Diamonds come in a range of grades and colours. You can learn more about the types of cuts, grades and colours here.
