From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Onycha
      a nail; claw; hoof, (Heb. sheheleth; Ex. 30:34), a Latin word
      applied to the operculum, i.e., the claw or nail of the strombus
      or wing-shell, a univalve common in the Red Sea. The opercula of
      these shell-fish when burned emit a strong odour "like
      castoreum." This was an ingredient in the sacred incense.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Onyx
      a hail; claw; hoof, (Heb. shoham), a precious stone adorning the
      breast-plate of the high priest and the shoulders of the ephod
      (Ex. 28:9-12, 20; 35:27; Job 28:16; Ezek. 28:13). It was found
      in the land of Havilah (Gen. 2:12). The LXX. translates the
      Hebrew word by smaragdos, an emerald. Some think that the
      sardonyx is meant. But the onyx differs from the sardonyx in
      this, that while the latter has two layers (black and white) the
      former has three (black, white, and red).
