I'm sorry I just reread my posting and it sounds rather snobbish! I in no way intended on acting as a know-it-all or any kind of expert on the subject. Heck I could very well be wrong! I did not want to offend in any way! Please accept my apologies if I came across with my nose in the air!! LOL Cassandra

This is made out of Marble, they make them in Mexico and sell pretty cheap. I live near Mx and can get them anywhere from 2 bucks on up. One of this size goes for about 10 They still sell them to this day. It is something a tourist buys..Nice piece though!

Hi, I believe that this is made out of a quartz mix or even a jade or marble mix but onyx is usually one solid color rather than striped like this. Just putting in my opinion because I worked selling antique and vintage jewelry for 10 years. :-) C

My cousin collects Onyx and it looks very much like Onyx to me. I bought him a gray Onyx ash tray at a yard sale . Onyx can very much be different colors. I all so was in Mexico and I bought like 3 or. 4 Onyx peaces that where different colors.

Thanks so much for your input I have seen onyx in a wide arrange of colors myself. I just googled onyx and looked at images there are many good examples on there.

It has eyes and a mouth carved like a whale it is hard to capture with the camera. Thanks so much for looking.
