Green onyx, like black onyx, is a type of opaque chalcedony, and is arguably more correctly called green agate. According to folklore, green onyx conveyed powerful protection against dark magic. The color of this green onyx can range from medium to dark green.

The pear cut is a hybrid of the oval and marquise cuts; it is usually oriented with the point uppermost.
