Decided to do one of my favourite rocks (other than Opal which I would definitely do if it was allowed XD). I did add tobiano/white because I felt it was a little bland down the buttend ;P

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.

Cool Fact about Onyx: The name "onyx" has the Greek origin. It means a nail of a finger. According to the legend, once Eros cut Venus' fingernails and scattered them on the ground while the goddess was sleeping. Since no part of a sacred body can die, her nails were turned into the stone. Later it became known as onyx.

Cool Fact about Onyx:

This stone is believed to have many such mystic powers. These beliefs about the mystic power of onyx vary from country to country. In Middle East, it is associated with the lives and ways of the sorcerers. In India it is believed to calm the ardors of love. The Romans associated it with courage and it is thought to be useful when one is defending him or herself against unfair criticism. In many countries black signifies regeneration and new beginning. So onyx is often prescribed as a healing agent for old emotional wounds and moving ahead by forgetting the past experiences of bad relationship.
