It is exclusively mined from one specific location in the world, a small family-owned deposit located in Juab County (near Levan), Utah.Key Facts About the MaterialGeological Identity: Despite its name, it is not actually onyx (which is quartz-based). It is a rare, fancy type of calcite stalactite and stalagmite formation.Visual Appeal: It is highly sought after by lapidaries for its intricate "flowering" orbs, concentric lace banding, and internal tube-like structures colored in rich autumn hues like reds, oranges, and yellows.Workability: The material can be crumbly and difficult to cut.
