These smooth, flowing bands form as silica-rich solutions slowly crystallize within volcanic cavities, depositing layers over time. The result is a stone of elegant structure and visual balance, polished to a soft, glassy luster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetaphysical Healing Properties:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBanded Onyx is revered as a stone of strength, stability, and disciplined focus.
