It is banded travertine, also called onyx marble: calcium carbonate, mainly calcite with some aragonite, laid down layer by layer from mineral-rich hot springs. Pakistan's onyx comes mainly from the Chagai District of Balochistan, where the deposits are linked to young volcanic activity around the Koh-e-Sultan volcano. The green and brown bands are calcite. At around 3 on the Mohs scale it is much softer than quartz, so it takes a fine polish but scratches more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Crystal Lore:\u003c\/strong\u003e In crystal lore, onyx is traditionally associated with strength, self-discipline and steady growth. Some believe it encourages patience and follow-through on long-term goals. It is linked with the root chakra and, in zodiac traditions, with Leo and Capricorn. The banded stone has been a favourite for carvings and decorative pieces for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/b\u003e: CaCO\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e (travertine)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSmall\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate size for 1 sphere\u003c\/b\u003e: 6cm\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate weight for 1 sphere:\u003c\/b\u003e168g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate size for 1 sphere: \u003c\/strong\u003e9cm\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eApproximate weight for 1 sphere: \u003c\/strong\u003e572g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLarge\u003cbr\u003eApproximate size for 1 sphere: \u003c\/b\u003e10cm\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate weight for 1 sphere:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1392g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
