Onyx is the Mystical birthstone for the month of December. Onyx is a chalcedony quartz that is mined in Brazil, India, California and Uruguay.The name comes from the Greek word onyx which means nail of a finger or claw. Legend says that one day while Venus was sleeping Eros/Cupid cut her fingernails and left the clippings scattered on the ground. Because no part of a heavenly body can die, the gods turned them into stone which later became known as onyx.
