Red Sardonyx is a striking variety of chalcedony, characterized by its layered appearance of red and white or tan bands. It is most commonly mined in Brazil, India, and Uruguay, where it is widely available for retail. Chemically, Sardonyx is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), with its distinctive bands resulting from alternating layers of sard (reddish-brown chalcedony) and onyx (black or white chalcedony). The name "Sardonyx" derives from the Greek words "sard" (a reddish gemstone) and "onux" (nail or claw), referencing its rich red hues and layered structure.
