Pakistan Green Onyx
Despite its name, Pakistan green onyx is not a true onyx, but a colorful variety of green banded calcite. Its deep color, reddish striations, translucency, and softness make it one of the world's most popular stones for interior stonework, decorative carvings, and lapidary work.
