In ancient times, onyx was once used as the name for all shades of chalcedony but has since been refined to classify the darker shades, primarily black onyx. Though the most popularly known, black onyx is actually the rarest form of onyx and is often manipulated to achieve its dark appearance due to its market demand. Onyx is often the trade name given to many varieties of banded calcites, despite their different compositions and crystal structures.
