Black stone (4)
I believe the answer is:
onyx
'black stone' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for onyx that I've seen before include "material for making cameos" , "Cameo material" , "Stone-like marble with layered colours" , "Black variety of quartz" , "Marble-like gemstone" .)
