Blue onyx, also known as blue agate, is dyed chalcedony — a microcrystalline quartz prized by jewelers and gem artists for its smooth, uniform translucent color and versatility in fabrication. Chalcedony has been used in jewelry for nearly 3,000 years, valued for its workability in carving, engraving, cameos, and signet applications. These oval cabochons offer a consistent, rich blue tone that pairs well with a wide range of metal settings and design styles.
Available in nine graduated sizes, from petite 6x4mm stones to substantial 25x18mm focal pieces, these cabochons are well-suited for rings, pendants, earrings, and brooches. The smooth domed profile and uniform coloration make them reliable choices for production work and one-of-a-kind designs alike.
