Anyone know where I can buy a couple slabs of Tube Onyx? I need slabs 6"long X 3" wide X 3/4" thick. Knapper

There are a few on eBay - search in "all categories" for "flowering tube onyx".

I have lots of Onyx, but I don't know how to tell what onyx is what. If I have what you need I would be happy to cut you up a few pieces.

Tony, you would know if you good tube onyx. nmonyx often has a bulk onyx that has some tubes but not as fine or hard as the above cab. I got this 25lb chunk from him a few years back: The neatest piece in my collection is the peeper: It is abut 5x4x2.75 and the tubes go all the way through. I am not sure this stuff is really a true onyx. It is more carbonate like, but partly silicified when it is good stuff.

Wow, that is some really cool stuff. Now I gotta search for more pictures since I had never heard of tube onyx before. Thanks for posting those. Barb

Here are 2 pieces of Onyx. The white one has 2 large tubes that go all the way through, but the color seems like it will be lacking. The brown one has some nice patterns but I don't think it is tube Onyx. 2 shots with different lighting. Tony

That big chunk is going to be a lamp one day. Sometime I shop for folks, but once a rock is mine it is painful for me to part. Besides it is all crated for my upcoming move. nmonyx, aka Jason, is a member here. He sells on ebay too, but does not always have the flowering onyx listed. If I manage to see him when I drive cross-country next month, I will get an email or something.

UPDATE: Jason, aka, nmonyx, has an email in his profile. So just look him up in the members section. No current ebay listings, but send an email and see what he can get you.
