Yes, the black trim in the DV-73 and 74 is "onyx." But, IIRC from Hans comments re: the materials used, some or all were "reconstituted" from pulverized materials (onyx, coral, turquoise). The natural stone/materials would be too hard to be used in a fret board that might need to be sanded, during a refret, for example.

It would certainly stand to reason. The turquoise looks like it was sliced, though.

Some of the faux turquoise looks pretty real... but is definitely softer than real stone: https://www.lmii.com/reconstituted-stone-inlay-material/2317-slab-recon-stone-turqoise.html
