A parallel-banded form of the silicate stone chalcedony is called red onyx. Calcite makes up the majority of it. Did you know that stacked chalcedony comes in the forms of agate and onyx? Both feature bands, although onyx has parallel bands, while agates have curved bands. The Greek word onyx translates to "claw" or "fingernail." Onyx was given that name because certain varieties resemble fingernail colors. Onyx often has linear, parallel banding. These bands come in black, brown, or white hues. Uruguay, Brazil, Afghanistan, India, Madagascar, Peru, the US, and other countries mine onyx.
