Jet Black Onyx Round 4mm

$1001

SKU: 4ST401

These 4mm black onyx rounds are a workhorse gemstone bead — smooth, deeply black, and consistent enough to anchor any design that needs a serious dark note. Enhanced black onyx delivers that rich, uniform color that dyed or painted glass simply can't replicate.

The enhancement process brings out a dense, light-absorbing black with a polished surface that catches light subtly rather than flashily — think quiet depth, not disco.

What to make with them

String them solo for a clean, minimal gemstone bracelet or necklace, or use them as spacers between colorful focal beads to let those colors pop. They're also well-suited to knotted silk designs and chakra-focused pieces where the root chakra association carries meaning for the wearer.

Description

Onyx, a banded variety of the quartz family, is mined in Brazil, India, Madagascar, U.S.A and Uruguay. The only difference between onyx and other banded agates is that the stripes of onyx are even and uniform. Black onyx's uniform black color is achieved by dyeing and or by heat treating. The name Onyx is a Greek word meaning claw or fingernail, as it was once believed that onyx was created from the goddess Venus's fingernail clippings. Onyx and Sardonyx are essentially the same stone: onyx will have a black base, and sardonyx has a brown base.
