About the Item

Life-size pair of green and red onyx turned polished vases, the rolling rims above slender baluster form terminating in circular bases.

Half hollowed out to be used as functional or decorative vases indoors or outdoors. Onyx, is a translucent, semi-precious gemstone. It belongs to the mineral family of marble but it is distinguished by its delicate, beautiful colors and shades.

The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color except shades of purple, blue and black.
