A striking Blue Onyx trinket dish, carved into a scalloped four-point shape with a deep round well in the center. The saturated sky-blue color is banded through with softer cloud-like striping, and this piece is cut noticeably thicker than most - genuinely high-quality material, with real weight and substance in hand rather than the thin, lightweight carvings more common in this stone.
Measures approximately 3.80 inches wide (short side), 5.15 inches wide (across the handled/lobed side), and 2.30 inches tall. Substantial and heavy for its size at 1 lb 4 oz.
Honesty note: "Blue Onyx" is a trade name for banded calcite (calcium carbonate, CaCO3), not true Onyx, which is chalcedony. This is natural, untreated material - the deep, saturated blue is the stone's genuine color, not a dye.
What you'll get:
- One Blue Onyx (banded calcite) trinket dish
- Approximately 3.80 in x 5.15 in, 2.30 in tall, 1 lb 4 oz
- Scalloped four-point rim with deep center well
- Notably thick, substantial cut - higher quality than typical thin-walled pieces
- Mohs hardness 3 (soft - handle gently)
Care notes: avoid water cleansing since calcite is slightly soluble; keep out of direct sun to protect the color; use for dry contents only (rings, small crystals, jewelry); store away from harder stones to prevent scratching.
In crystal traditions, Calcite is described as an amplifying, cleansing stone, and blue-toned varieties are most often tied to the throat and third eye chakras - calm communication and mental clarity. A genuinely substantial, beautiful catchall dish for a nightstand, vanity, or altar.
