This is a nice piece of Silver Laced Onyx from the Barstow, California area. It is on a black leather tie with antique silver tips.

Silver Lace Onyx comes from the tailings of silver mines and there are small silver veins that run thru these stones.

A powerful protection stone, Black Onyx absorbs and transforms negative energy, and helps to prevent the drain of personal energy. Black Onyx aids the development of emotional and physical strength and stamina, especially when support is needed during times of stress, confusion or grief.
