Explain this......
Onyx is a cryptocrystalline form of quartz. It is used in the making of many types of jewellery. It is reasonably rare, and true Onyx is quite valuable. I once held a claim to an Onyx mine in Australia. It was a widely believed that the Onyx from my mine was among the most superior in the world. Unfortunately almost all of my most valuable Onyx was stolen from me by a gang of masked motorcycle banditos while on route to the gemelogical institute in Canberra. And that's my tale of the Onyx purloined.


sorry.

if only for using the word 'purloined' in a post.

I forgot that word existed.
