Overview:
Onyx is cryptocrystalline, a sedimentary rock formed of silica minerals, quartz and moganite. Which is a technical way of saying it is stunningly beautiful. Often translucent with chaotic colored banding, onyx brings a stop-in-your-tracks beauty to interior decorative installations.
Sources:
Onyx occurs naturally around the world, but primary quarries are in Turkey, Mexico and Arizona.
Colors:
You name it. The striking colors of onyx are remarkably varied, from rich black to marble white and every color in between.
Common Uses:
An interior stone, onyx has always been associated with decorations. Its transparency and multi-colored appearance can be highlighted even more with backlighting.
