Once it's gone, it's gone forever. Extremely rare onyx, this block ran deeper than the usual pull. Alongside the rust and gold Balochistan onyx always gives, one piece surfaced with a black-green mineral vein — a mark this stone rarely shows. Four pieces, four different records of the same source: one banded in burgundy arches pooling to cream, one striped olive and gold, one holding a single bold garnet patch at the rim, one carrying that rare green streak through its ivory field. This listing holds all four. Look through the photos and claim the one that pulls you — that exact piece, veins and all, is the one that ships.

STRATA — Single-source Balochistan onyx, hand-carved, finished in San Diego. A deeper, rarer pull from the block — one piece shows a black-green mineral vein uncommon to this stone.
VEIN — Four one-of-one pieces, each with its own record: ivory and rust with a rare black-green vein; pale ivory with a bold garnet patch at the rim; deep burgundy arched banding pooling to cream; olive and gold vertical striation. The photo guides you to the color; it isn't a contract — choose by the piece pictured.
WEIGHT — Approx. 1.5 lb each.
