MARBLE

Marbles are formed from limestone or dolomite that has undergone enough heat and pressure to get metamorphosized into a crystalline structure. This metamorphosis takes place when the weight of overlying material, pressure from crystal collisions and heat from the earth's core generate temperatures in excess of 1800ºF. It has an interlocking or mosaic texture composed of crystalline grain of calcite, dolomite or both. Texture of marble depends on the form, size and uniformity of grains. The chemical constituents of marble determine the color of the marble. Generally calcite and dolomite marbles are of pure white color. Variations of whiteness of pure marbles are due to the mixture of foreign substances. Such impurities form bands, streaks and clouds. Black and grayish shades are due to graphite; pinks, reds are mainly due to the presence of manganese oxides or hematite.

ONYX

Onyx is very similar to agate and formed from quartz. With cryptocrystalline structure and translucent property, Onyx is one of the more popular precious gemstones. Onyx are generally formed from layered deposits in warm springs and limestone caves. While water flows on existing limestone, dissolves and carry very grainy and fine structure for the re-deposits. These re-deposits crystal's are fused together for millions of years to form translucent layer which in turns form a unique natural stone Onyx. Naturally beautiful, translucence and line of contrasting colors running throughout which defines the unique color characteristics of the stone. Onyx colors are soft, opulent and almost fragile stone. Fireplaces, Bar tops and island are some appropriate places to use. Translucent qualities of onyx can be leveraged by placing the material under or over the lighting areas. Onyx tends to be more crystalline, strongly banded and colored in browns to yellow and clear.
