I have a special extremely secluded chunk of land in the mountains of West Virginia. The river runs along side of my property. They seam to have such a all around good vibe. When I am in the water where they are found I enduo with such clarity and sence of renewed self worth.
And hoping you can possibly help me find the answer. I appreciate your time Thanks. I recently came across a black chunky rock.. I was JUST trying to sort out a handful of black stones i have. This post is helpful in a lot of ways but i am still having trouble with a couple of them. The one stone you didnt mention here is Agate. Wonderfully put.
I work in the crystal and mineral wholesale business. And you have explained this so beautifully and simply. I would have liked to see examples of both rough and polished states as they look so differently in each. At least now I do have a clearer understanding of my favorite stones. Thanks for the information and your desire to pass on great info.
Now I know or have an idea to spot fakes. They look antique and regal. Good Morning. I have clear quartz and black tourmaline, are these part of that? A local miner and I have over kg of black tourmaline for sale.
I need a legit buyer. Hi, I live in New Orleans and bought a piece of black tourmaline from a gem shop here. I am wondering if it is fake because it sheds or crumbles when I move it around.
Is that normal? Wow, I cannot tell you just how helpful this is. I also thought the piece of jet I had was obsidian, so this has been very informative. Some professional assistance would be great.
Hoping someone can answer my question — I have a tumbled black crystal that has translucent spots when you hold it up to the light like Obsidian, but also has 1 divot like a Tourmaline would. Does anyone know if a Tourmaline can have those translucent spots, or do I just have an Obsidian that happens to have a divot? Im not sure. Like you said it has this soft grounding Loving affect. It is like a big hug that says I will protect you and you will be ok.
But I find many opposing claims as to whether Black Onyx is translucent or not. Some shine a bright light behind and see a honey color with black inclusions.
What happens with your smaller stones? I would like to know as I hope to have bought something genuine as told me, and if not I plan to keep looking! This was so helpful!
Apart from having figured out which one it was, I learned a lot along the way. I really appreciate this, thank you! Many thanks. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Answer: Obsidian is neither your best nor worst option for jewelry. Obsidian can be a unique and beautiful choice and is a great option if you love Art Deco or even Art Nouveau jewelry but are on a tight budget.
At a much lower toughness and hardness rating, it is more prone to everyday scratches and chipping. Of course, it would also be less expensive to replace— but even compared with onyx, obsidian is considered to have relatively poor wearability. Answer: Obsidian is not worth much money— making it highly affordable but, of course, not of great value. Onyx is heat hesitant, while fakes are not.
Of course, buying from a well-known seller like James Allen or Blue Nile can greatly cut down on your risk for buying something fake. While both onyx and obsidian make for unconventional rings, necklaces and bracelets, the choice for most people is fairly clear.
Onyx has better wearability and is still exceptionally affordable. A striking black onyx makes a bold statement in this fashion-forward cocktail ring crafted of 14k white gold.

The toughness also tests the probability of breaking or cracking the gemstone. The strength is measured from Excellent to Poor least likely to be chip most likely to chip. Read below Onyx vs Obsidian toughness.
Onyx is more delicate than other gemstones and may be needed during careful handling or maintenance. It can chip immediately if it hits, it can even be sensitive to water.
The easiest way to care for onyx is to ensure it is regularly cleaned and stop wearing it during high or potentially risky activities, though you can wear it every day. Based on variety, obsidian tiredness differs. However, most obsidian is easy to chip or crack— both onyx and obsidian need to be vigilant but above all obsidian, along with a lower rating of hardness than onyx. Transparency changes the overall look of the jewellery. Transparency is simply a measure of the way light impacts the stone—how it receives or reflects light.
Opaque means that a gemstone absorbs light and that much light is mirrored transparent. The more clear and precious the diamonds and many gemstones, although it does not necessarily mean that it is the most attractive in any case — it also depends in certain cases on personal taste.
Read the Onyx vs Obsidian transparency. Onyx is considered invisible, because it seems to be solid in colour and absorbs light mainly. In most situations you tend to see a lot in terms of the light that reflects it. Obsidian, on the other hand, will range from opaque to translucent with more choices for customers. Obsidian, though, is more traditional than invisible and would therefore be more economical.
It is more common. Black Onyx is a strong protective stone that absorbs and converts harmful energies and helps avoid personal energy drain.
Black Onyx supports the production of mental and physical strength and endurance, especially in periods of tension, confusion or sorrow. It is ideal for daily wear. You can quickly clean an onyx ring and you can wear it all day because the stone is tough. With almost every other item of jewellery, an onyx ring looks amazing.
You should rock a diamond stub with your onyx ring or even a turquoise belt with a saphire necklace. As all gemstones the worth of a stone, including obsidian, is increased with excellent cutting and polishing. Credits:- Jovivi Store Table of Contents. Obsidian Onyx. What is onyx stone good for?
