Tips About Jewelry Made from Black Onyx

Most Black Onyx that is commercially available today is color enhanced (heated and dyed) to increase it's depth of color. Onyx is the Mystical birthstone for the month of December. It is also the birth stone for the Zodiac sign of Leo. See the birthstone list for other references to onyx. Onyx is also given on the 7th and 10th wedding anniversary. The name comes from the Greek word onyx which means nail of a finger or claw. Legend says that one day while Venus was sleeping Eros/Cupid cut her fingernails and left the clippings scattered on the ground. Because no part of a heavenly body can die, the gods turned them into stone which later became known as onyx. For more information Black Onyx check out these internet sites:Black
