Description: SARDONYX PALMSTONES - 2 - SWIRLING PATTERNS IN VARIOUS COLOR DESIGNS. THE LARGER PALM WEIGHS 3.25 OZ (93 G) AND MEASURES 2.9" X 1.5". THE SMALLER PALM WEIGHS 1.5 OZ (46 G) AND MEASURES 1.8" X 1.5". It's name, similarly, combines sard (referencing the ancient Persian city, Sardis—in present-day Turkey—where the red stone was found) with onyx (from the Greek word of the same spelling, which meant “nail or claw.”) Sard ranges in color from yellowish-red to reddish-brown, depending on how much iron oxide is present. Sard is easily confused with carnelian, another type of chalcedony that is slightly softer and lighter in color. Sardonyx, like onyx, shows layers of parallel bands—instead of the chaotic, curved bands that compose agate, another type of chalcedony.The finest examples of sardonyx, which display sharp contrasts between layers, are found in India. Other sources include Brazil, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Madagascar, Uruguay, and the United States.
