Sardonyx

Sardonyx is an absolutely stunning birthstone of august resulting from the perfect combination of Onyx and Sard, both belonging to the quartz category. Its distinct colour and attractive banding pattern make it a favourite among collectors and admirers alike. Originating from the Greek language, 'sard' meaning reddish-brown and 'onyx' referring to a nail or claw, the term 'sardonyx' accurately describes the gemstone's reddish-brown base hue with stunning white or black bands. With its unparalleled beauty and exceptional durability, it has and will always remain a highly sought-after option for making exquisite jewellery and decorative items.
