This hand-carved Grand Canyon Onyx Buffalo (also known as Arizona Onyx) measures 3 inches x 4 inches. Sourced directly from Arizona USA, each is a unique one-of-a-kind design. Hand-polished to a high luster the deep earth tones of the Grand Canyon Onyx will add warmth to any home decor. A member of the marble family, onyx is formed as a mixture of clay, carbonates, and other minerals which have been transformed under intense pressure and heat deep inside the earth. Over time, the earth’s movements exert stresses on the stone, resulting in cracks or fissures that in turn produce the visible veins of color. It takes about 1 million years to create a foot of the stone. Each layer reflects the sediment left after water flowed in and out of the area. Grand Canyon Onyx with layers of brown, red, white, and green. Pick one, or the whole herd!
