Onyx is a banded variety of the oxide mineral chalcedony. Agate and onyx are both varieties of layered chalcedony that differ only in the form of the bands: agate has curved bands and onyx has parallel bands. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color (save some shades, such as purple or blue). Commonly, specimens of onyx contain bands of black and/or white.
Onyx comes through Latin (of the same spelling), from the Greek ὄνυξ, meaning "claw" or "fingernail". With its fleshtone color, onyx can be said to resemble a fingernail. The English word "nail" is cognate with the Greek word.
Onyx is formed of bands of chalcedony in alternating colors. It is cryptocrystalline, consisting of fine intergrowths of the silica minerals quartz and moganite. Its bands are parallel to one another, as opposed to the more chaotic banding that often occurs in agates.
Sardonyx is a variant in which the colored bands are sard (shades of red) rather than black. Black onyx is perhaps the most famous variety, but is not as common as onyx with colored bands. Artificial treatments have been used since ancient times to produce both the black color in "black onyx" and the reds and yellows in sardonyx. Most "black onyx" on the market is artificially colored.

See halo streets are get to stop it and I lock it up
When Im in the kitchen season and you can cake it and cook, look
And none of your bigger trash like is hard to stepping up
A guggu when a grown man there, signing to the shepar on
Arrest em all for the hit and tell em that I always serve the hood 24 hours
Feeding niggas Im on debris, God be wet
Crime and get bust raps to get
Compete to a full corse near
Juice link it from the stake, acting like you aint know
When your niggas must be idiots
Ya all know my name is ready
When my nigga feel it, we flip more in this bitch
Then in your line, its kind of serious
The majority think in that building all they got is superiority
The way ya all set, Im only said
Im rapping and feed the hood
Like Im a fast food change
No need to ever question whats my hood homie
That the aliens are vegetarians, I feed you if you hungry
Take a halley, take a low on e
See those how burns, I sing
This all over sea, so will be inside
Its all that burn, its all that burn
But youre on the phone call
Ill feed you if you hungry
Im just starting with my friend Joe
BDS and sunset, two of three got straight here
So we all a team , so make you belly end it up
Doing a song, thats the key
And JMJ say that aint sing the album without me
Official democracy, Im close to truth
The truth you told, you aint even want me in the group
So I rip out with all the beast in night
And you waiting on my verse like I were the Jesus Christ
Take the hard way, take the low one
See those burns, I sing four hours
Leave all on the sea, so from inside out
And its all a burning
I aint burn now
Come tomorrow, be there for me,
I saw that, you saw me
