ONYX

Mystical magical onyx marble.

This exotic natural stone is about luxury and glamor. The “transmitter of light”. An exquisite and unique stone which is expensive. It’s a form of marble which is millions of years old. Onyx has been used for centuries to adorn places of worship and ward off evil spirits. Some say it provides comfort, relieves stress, and calms the heart.

The translucent beauty of this stone is a real head turner. Onyx marble is often found in limestone caves. Water dissolves the existing limestone and redeposits it. It is quartz crystals fused together into translucent layers of stone. This stone is also used as a mineral gem. Onyx is a calcareous stone and prone to etching from the acids found in things such as ketchup, lemons, alcohol, and household cleaners. Great care is needed to maintain the natural beauty of this stone.

Similar to limestone, onyx is a softer stone best placed where it won’t be used or abused on a day to day basis. Onyx marble is most often used as vanity tops, fireplace surrounds, bar tops, walls or small islands because it transmits light. Other uses include wall cladding, light duty residential floors, sinks, and tables. Onyx can also be used for novelty items such as vases, urns, lamps, wine goblets, sinks and bowls.
