Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia - n. A precious and richly
veined mineral much used in ancient art; the hard Oriental
alabaster. See alabaster, 2. “Oriental alabaster, the
alabastrites of the classical writers, is a translucent marble
(calcium carbonate) obtained from stalagmitic deposits; because
of its usually banded structure, which gives it some resemblance
to onyx, it is also called onyx marble, or simply, though
incorrectly, onyx.” ‘alabastrites’ hasn't been added to any
