What is Onyx?

Onyx is a banded variety of chalcedony, a crystalline form of quartz, formed through the deposition of silica from hot springs or limestone caves. This unique formation process creates its signature translucent properties and dramatic banding patterns.

What sets onyx apart is its ability to be backlit, creating stunning visual effects that transform any space into a work of art. When illuminated, onyx reveals its inner beauty with glowing patterns and colors that change throughout the day.

Perfect for creating focal points and accent pieces, onyx offers unparalleled drama and luxury for those seeking to make a bold design statement with natural stone.

Care & Maintenance

Gentle Daily Care

Clean with warm water and mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Onyx requires gentle care to preserve its translucent beauty and prevent damage.

Regular Sealing

Apply a high-quality natural stone sealer every 6-12 months to protect against stains and maintain the surface's integrity.

Special Considerations

Avoid acidic substances, use coasters and cutting boards consistently, and handle with extra care due to onyx's softer nature.
