Cool Fact about Onyx:

While black onyx is the most well known variety, even the name being synonymous with the color, it is actually not the most common form. Most onyx is sardonyx, and comes in banded red shades, the prefix 'sard' meaning red. Because of this, most black onyx on the market is actually artificially colored.
