**ABOUT CHOCOLATE BANDED ONYX**
Mexican onyx is a decorative trade name commonly used for beautifully banded calcite stone. Its distinctive layers and natural color variations make each carving unique.
In crystal traditions, onyx is associated with grounding, stability, protection, and inner strength. These are traditional spiritual associations rather than scientifically established or medical benefits.
