Stone Wisdom: The name Onyx is derived from the Greek term, onux, meaning fingernail. This comes from a Greek tale of Venus and Eros. While Venus slept, Eros cut her fingernails and left the clippings all over the ground. Because no part of a god could die, the clippings were turned into stone, thus becoming onyx. In Greek times, almost all colors of chalcedony, from gray-white to black and all the colors in-between, were called Onyx. Later the term was used only to describe the darker varieties. The artificial coloring of onyx dates back over 2000 years ago in Arikamedu, a region of India. Chinese purple jade gives its owner an exotic look. Jade has been treasured in China as a royal gemstone since at least 2950 BC. It is also called the Chinese Stone of Heaven. It can be a messenger between Heaven and mankind, a symbolic link of communication between heaven and earth, of exchange between man and the spiritual world." Location: Hand-Crafted
