Variety of agate with different colours in layers (4)

I believe the answer is:

onyx

(Other definitions for onyx that I've seen before include "Kind of agate" , "Marbled stone with layers of colours" , "Quartz with alternating bands of colour" , "Sort of agate" , "Black and white striped gemstone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
