Orange Light Onyx Slabs

Stone Information

Onyx, a precious marble
Onyx, from the Greek onyks, is a very rare marble made up of colored limestone sediments, which was formed from calcareous concretions of spring water and infiltration.
It comes in different colors. Here are some of our favorite types:

orange onyx: extracted in the Middle East, it has a yellow-orange color with ovules surrounded by refined light veins. 
It is a particularly elegant material that is striking for its colors that recall the various shades of the sun.


All onyxes have unique characteristics: hardness and resistance, durability over time, impact resistance and waterproofness.

The feature that most of all makes this stone so special is its natural transparency, which allows light to penetrate inside: onyx is therefore ideal for the backlit effect, forming plays of light that create an atmosphere muffled and suggestive. It is also well suited to "open book" processing which is a cutting technique obtained by opening the slabs of the same block like pages of a book.

Onyx, it must be said, are very delicate materials, with partial resistance to frost and not resistant to acids.
For this reason the areas of application are mainly internal such as floors, coverings, stairs, bathrooms and kitchens, where you want to use a high-quality material. Furnishing accessories, artistic elements, objects and sculptures are also made in onyx.

The finish that allows this material to maintain its characteristics intact is polishing.
