Set of 5 Sardonyx obelisks

Finely cut into obelisks, this set of five sardonyx pieces delivers a crisp, graphic display.

Parallel banding alternates brick-to-russet reds with milky white or inky black, so each face shows a different rhythm as you rotate the stones.

Clustered tightly, the series creates a regular vertical cadence on a console or shelf; staggered, the five forms punctuate a room with coordinated accents.

In a refined cabinet of curiosities spirit, the ensemble welcomes a discreet label card (name, origin) and slips naturally into a bookcase or display case.

For styling, lean into repetition and tonal contrast. Pair the obelisks with a translucent piece to emphasize depth, or stage them against a softly shaded backdrop to amplify presence.

Care is easy: use a dry microfiber cloth and avoid solvents or abrasives to keep edges sharp and the polish intact.
For the scientifically minded

Sardonyx is a variety of onyx in which the colored bands are sard (reddish-brown chalcedony) alternating with white or black layers.

Onyx itself is a banded agate, hence a chalcedony - a cryptocrystalline form of silica (SiO₂, quartz group) with Mohs hardness 6.5-7.

Historically valued for cameos and intaglios since antiquity, sardonyx is also recognized in modern lore as one of the birthstones for August.
