Blue Onyx Tumbled
Blue Onyx, a variant of Onyx belonging to the Chalcedony family, is characterized by its distinctive blue color, which differentiates it from the more commonly known black or banded Onyx. This gemstone is primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and forms through a unique sedimentary process, where silica is deposited in lava gas cavities. This deposition leads to the creation of layered bands of chalcedony, often interwoven with layers of quartz, which contribute to its striking appearance and durability. The blue hue of Blue Onyx is relatively rare in the natural world, making it a subject of interest not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for geological study, as it provides insights into the conditions under which this mineral forms and evolves.
Blue Onyx, like other members of the Chalcedony family, is primarily composed of silica (silicon dioxide), which is inherently non-toxic and safe for handling and wear in its polished gemstone form. The material does not release toxic substances or pose chemical risks under normal conditions of use, such as in jewelry or decorative items. However, it's important to note that inhaling silica dust, which can be produced when cutting or grinding raw stone without proper protective measures, can be harmful to respiratory health. This concern is primarily relevant to those involved in the processing and shaping of the stone rather than to end consumers. Therefore, Blue Onyx is considered safe for everyday use in its finished form, with precautions necessary only during its manufacturing and shaping processes.
