Fibonacci sequence Discovered in the year 1202 by a medieval mathematician named Leonardo of Pisa or Fibonacci. “Fibonacci sequence is a recursive sequence that calculates the next term by the sum of the two preceding terms or F(n) = F(n – 1) + F(n – 2). i.e. 1,1,2,3,5,8,13.

Mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci Born in Pisa, Italy around the year 1175. Move to Bugia with his father Bonacci after the year 1192. He learnt mathematics through his travels with his father as merchants.” He returned to Pisa 1200 and became the greatest Medieval period mathematician. He wrote a book on how to do arithmetic in the decimal system, called "Liber abaci", in 1202. Fibonacci died some time after 1240, presumably in Pisa.”

Black Onyx “Onyx was very popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans. The name comes from the Greek word onyx, which means fingernail. The story is that one day frisky Cupid cut the divine fingernails of Venus with an arrowhead while she was sleeping. He left the clippings scattered on the sand and the fates turned them into stone so that no part of the heavenly body would ever perish.”
