Onyx was the stone of choice for Roman signet rings — pressed into wax to seal correspondence between senators, merchants, and emperors. Its deep black surface held detail better than any other stone, and its hardness made it resistant to wear. Roman lapidary texts document it as one of the most widely used stones for engraving across the ancient Mediterranean world. (Kunz, G.F., The Curious Lore of Precious Stones, 1913)
