While ruby is the birthstone for July, black onyx is an alternative stone for the month best and is associated with the Babylonian Zodiac sign of Capricorn. Onyx is a form of chalcedony, which is a microcrystalline quartz. It is formed in the gas cavities of lava. Its multi-layering is similar to that of agates. When the stone has a black base and a white upper layer, it's called onyx. (Black onyx is uniformly black chalcedony.) Black onyx has been associated with regeneration and new beginnings. It is said to be useful in fighting basic fears and in helping to create the opportunity to move beyond bad relationships--and to heal old emotional wounds.

These earrings measure 1 3/8 inches in total length.
