Onyx Spheres

Onyx is formed of bands of chalcedony in alternating colors. Agate and Onyx are both varieties of layered chalcedony that differ only in the form of the bands: agate has curved bands and onyx has parallel bands. 

Brazilian green onyx was often used as plinths for art deco sculptures created in the 1920s and 1930s. The German sculptor Ferdinand Preiss used Brazilian green onyx for the base on the majority of his chryselephantine sculptures. Green onyx was also used for trays and pin dishes, produced mainly in Austria and often with small bronze animals or figures attached. Onyx is mentioned many times in the Bible.
