[[File:Onyx detail.png|left|70px|A detailed view of a cut onyx]]

'''Onyx''' is a rare volcanic [[gem]] with a shiny black lustre which is used in the [[Crafting]] skill to make [[jewellery]]. As there are only a limited number of ways to obtain an onyx gem, it is by far the rarest gem in ''RuneScape''.

An [[uncut onyx]] requires a Crafting level of 67 to cut, granting 167.5 Crafting experience when cut. Players may also use the [[Fletching]] skill to cut an onyx into [[onyx bolt tips]] by using a [[chisel]] on a cut onyx at level 73 Fletching. Cutting an onyx into bolt tips grants the player 9 experience in the Fletching skill and gives the player 24 onyx bolt tips. '''There are other, far cheaper and simpler ways to obtain onyx bolt tips, therefore this practice is NOT recommended due to the value of the gem.'''

The [[Update:Personalised Shops|Personalised shops]] update on [[2 September]] [[2009]] raised the price of an uncut onyx in the TzHaar shops ninefold, from 300,000 to 2,700,000 [[Tokkul]]. In addition to this, an update on [[15 December]] [[2009]] made it impossible to obtain Tokkul by trading [[runes]] and other [[Obsidian equipment|obsidian items]] to TzHaar shops. This significantly increased the rarity of Tokkul, causing the gem to greatly increase in price. The new update to the TzHaar city on [[14 Feburary]] [[2012]] which added the new [[Fight Kiln]], allows players to fight their way through 37 waves of monsters, similar to the fight caves. If the player is successful in defeating the boss, they have the choice of receiving either the [[TokHaar-Kal]] or an [[uncut onyx]].

==Onyx Jewellery==

==Trivia==
*When the [[TzHaar]] area was first released, the store price for an uncut onyx was 300,000 Tokkul. Many players traded [[fire rune]]s for 1 Tokkul each to buy an uncut onyx for a profit.
*In real life, the colour of [[wikipedia:onyx|onyx]] ranges from white to almost every colour, with shades of blue or purple.
*The [[amulet of fury]] has a red gem on the top of the amulet itself, and when crafting the amulet, the wool changes colour to match the amulet's.
*Visually, no gold can be seen on any onyx jewellery although they all require [[gold bar]]s to be made.
*Contrary to popular belief, an onyx '''cannot''' be found while mining in the [[Lava Flow Mine]] or mining [[gem rocks]].
*Following the return of free trade, the prices of the gem have significantly crashed.
*The [[Queen Black Dragon]] is the only monster to drop this gem although it is very rare.
