Mexican Onyx - several different colors!

on the road to tulum

 

we stopped at this really neat place that was a sort of store/museum run by local Mayans. here they were showing the raw onyx (and other stones) that were used in some of the carvings they sold. they had a deep black onyx, a clearer onyx, a sort of rainbow onyx and a beautiful gold-flecked onyx.
