I love the silky smooth texture and heaviness of vintage black onyx buttons and beads. I like the clinky noise they make in necklaces. Many vintage buttons were made of polished black onyx..often nicknamed "hammered nail" buttons? Black onyx sparkles depending on the facets cut & polished into the stone.. and there are many facet patterns. My favorite Pattern cut in onyx: checkerboard. see #2 picture.
