Onyx Bookends

BK309b   Here is a very different, slightly irregular set of Pakistani Onyx bookends from the Rock Shed.  The set measures 6" x 6 1/4" x 4 1/4" and has a super polish on all sides.  This material is beautiful with a excellent color mix of Browns, Greens, Reds and Golds.  This material is very unique in that the material is often difficult to match perfectly, thus resulting in a different, sometimes irregular appearance.  Although we feel that this does not distract from the unique look the bookends exhibit, we have reduced the price to reflect this exceptional quality.

Onyx is a banded variety of Calcite.  The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color except shades of purple, blue and black.  It is used for vases, bowls, beads, cabochons and other items.  This type of Onyx is found in Mexico and Pakistan.  It is often carved, polished and sold in a variety of different things. 

They weighs 10 lbs. 4 ozs.
