Posted October 31, 199925 yr Dear cecil,Is it true that chinese people consider onyx to be very inauspicious that nobody works in onyx mines. Thanks.
Posted October 31, 199925 yr Staff Dear Anon,1. Onyx comes in different colors. Some are white, some in green etc...2. Under Chinese Astrology, for the animal sign " The Ox "; it's lucky gemstone is `White Onyx'.3. Onyx is been sold by companies dealing with home interiors e.g. kitchen table tops, bath room tops etc...4. It is also carved into objects e.g. swans and other figurines for display etc...I believe there is a commercial demand for it.5. In my opinion, based on above, I do not believe that the chinese consider the onyx inauspicious unless, because perhaps could it be that these mines you mentioned are dangerous to work in. This is because some mines have dangerous gases within them.On the fifth point, frankly I am not too familiar with how it is mined. Anyone with more info on this can help us out.I sincerely believe that if there is money to be made out of mining e.g. onyx, this would be a good reason for anyone to set aside `superstitions' and go mine it.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 10/31/99 1:41:48 AM, Anonymous wrote:Dear cecil,Is it true that chinese peopleconsider onyx to be veryinauspicious that nobody worksin onyx mines.
