2.85" Polished, Green (Jade) Onyx Palm Stone - Afghanistan

This is a beautiful polished palm stone made out of jade onyx, also known as green onyx, that was quarried in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. There's a chip in this palm stone.

Afghan Jade Onyx or Afghan Green Onyx is collected from several different quarries in Afghanistan: Bamyan, Helmand and Faryab being the most common and well known quarries. While tests have indicated that the "onyx" from these localities are actually travertine, a variety of aragonite, the term onyx has remained the common name used for this material.
