Cave onyx comes from Kokoweef Peak in California.  This material was collected in the late ‘40’s and is famous for its delicate, light brown/cream colored orbs and fans which appear in cross section when the stalactites/stalagmites are cut.  It is relatively soft compared to most other lapidary materials, but it does take a good polish to produce spectacular, unique finished cabs or display pieces.
