Extra Info on Blue Onyx...

Blue onyx is a striking variety of onyx, a banded form of chalcedony, which itself is a type of microcrystalline quartz. It's characterized by its deep blue colour with white or lighter blue banding, creating a captivating contrast.

Blue onyx typically exhibits shades of blue ranging from light sky blue to deep navy, often with white or lighter blue bands running through it. The bands can be quite subtle or more pronounced, depending on the specimen.

Onyx forms in the voids of lava. It is composed of fine intergrowths of silica minerals, primarily quartz and moganite. The banding in onyx is often parallel and consistent, giving it a distinctive appearance.

Blue onyx is found in various locations around the world, including Brazil, India, Uruguay, and the United States. Each locality may produce onyx with slightly different characteristics in terms of colour and banding patterns.

Onyx, is relatively soft compared to other gemstones, making it susceptible to scratches and abrasions. It should be handled with care to avoid damage. Cleaning with mild soap and water is typically safe for most onyx jewellery and surfaces, but harsh chemicals and cleaners should be avoided to prevent etching or dulling of the stone.
