The name “Onyx” is derived from the Greek word onyx, which means “of a finger” or “claw”. A Greek legend says that the Onyx stone came from Cupid clipping some of Venus’ nails. The clippings fell to the ground and were turned into the Onyx stone due to the fact that no part of a god can die. Onyx is chalcedony quartz that is usually found in Brazil, California, Uruguay, and India.
