Small "Onyx" Pill Box

These pill boxes are carefully crafted with a great fitting lid.  Pakistani "onyx" (see below) is mined in the Baluchistan area of Pakistan and  crafted in the lapidary shops in India.

Measuring approximately 2.2 inches in height, 2 inches in length, and 2 inches in width. Weighing approximately .5 pounds. Banding, coloring, exact measurements, and weight will vary slightly between pieces as each is unique. 

By trade name only, this "onyx" is actually calcite since it fizzes with hydrochloric acid solution; The rock industry leaves the naming to the miners and lapidary shops who classify most calcites with with waves and lines as "onyx"; We know, a little confusing.; Onyx on the other hand is basically micro-quartz and will not fizz in an acid solution
