What is green onyx?

Green Onyx is a type of chalcedony, a mineral belonging to the quartz family. It is primarily found in India, Brazil, and Madagascar. As the name suggests, this variety of onyx is green in color, ranging from a light mint green to a darker, forest green hue.

Green Onyx properties make it popular in the jewelry industry, where it is often used in rings, necklaces, and bracelets. It is believed to have healing properties, and is said to help reduce stress and anxiety, improve concentration, and increase stamina.

In addition to being used in jewelry, Green Onyx is also used in home décor, particularly as tabletops, fireplace surrounds, and lamps. It is a popular choice because of its beauty and durability.

Green Onyx is sometimes confused with marble due to its intricate veining patterns, but it is a denser and more brittle stone. It can be easily scratched, so it should be handled with care. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help keep Green Onyx looking beautiful and vibrant for years to come.
