Onyx was among the most widely used stones in ancient amulet-making. Greek and Roman lapidaries recorded it as a stone of discipline and focus — worn by soldiers and orators alike. The name derives from the Greek onyx, meaning nail or claw, a reference to the stone's banded appearance when unpolished. In ancient Egypt, Onyx was carved into scarabs and funerary objects, placed in tombs as a marker of permanence. Its deep black surface made it one of the few stones that absorbed light rather than reflected it — a quality that set it apart in every tradition that used it. — Kunz, G.F., The Curious Lore of Precious Stones, J.B.
