One of the most remarkable is the Grand Cameo of France or Cameo of the Sainte Chapelle. It is the largest known cameo in the world, measuring 31cm high and 26.5cm wide. It dates from the 1^st century AD. It is believed to represent the apotheosis of Augustus and the continuity of his dynasty. It features 24 figures who would constitute his entire lineage up to the Roman emperor Tiberius.

In the Middle Ages, wearing onyx was discouraged. Its dream-inducing powers were feared. It was said that wearing onyx made you see ghosts during sleep.

Onyx came back into fashion during the Renaissance.

During prehistory, it was already in use. Cave paintings were made using ground hematite.
