<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mmarco102, post: 423781, member: 8289&quot;]Ahhhh! Thank you very much for bringing that up. I found other samples online of agate, as I did not see any Mexican Onxy Bull’s as colorful as mine. But did find a all white onxy(maybe) damaged, Bull that was the exact replica, leading me to think they were made from the same stone. The translucent area in the white Bull seems only to be in the thinner tail and not in the main body as my Bull. This also had me thinking agate.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Quoted from website: “Agate and onyx are similar because they are both quartz stones, and they are both from the chalcedony family.</b></p><p><b>Both agate and onyx can have bands. Agate is considered the banded variety of chalcedony. It has circular bands, whereas the bands found on onyx are more or less straight and parallel.”</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>It was those circular rings on the left side of my Bull that had me thinking. There doesnt seem to be much difference in the two stones otherwise, but that could be my ignorance on the subject speaking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, thank you for bringing it up <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/ANIMAL-HAND-CARVED-BULL-OFF-WHITE-ONYX-STONE-MARBLE-SCULPTURE-VINTAGE-/221757530331?roken=cUgayN&amp;nma=true&amp;si=jQeBonJI1%252BVDVexnZ%252BX2%252B0K8BY4%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;nordt=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/ANIMAL-HAND-CARVED-BULL-OFF-WHITE-ONYX-STONE-MARBLE-SCULPTURE-VINTAGE-/221757530331?roken=cUgayN&amp;nma=true&amp;si=jQeBonJI1%252BVDVexnZ%252BX2%252B0K8BY4%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;nordt=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/ANIMAL-HAND-CARVED-BULL-OFF-WHITE-ONYX-STONE-MARBLE-SCULPTURE-VINTAGE-/221757530331?roken=cUgayN&amp;nma=true&amp;si=jQeBonJI1%2BVDVexnZ%2BX2%2B0K8BY4%3D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;nordt=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557</a></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
