Sardonyx

Sardonyx is a marvellous variety of agate. Its name is derived from Sardy harbour in Anatolia, where ships loaded with gemstones sailed from India to Greece. Like agate, sardonyx used to be a popular material for cameos, intaglios (small plates with engraved image) and seals. This piece is from India.
