Onyx Attributes

Onyx is actually a translucent stone, which means it’s possible for light to shine through it. This opens up a lot of possibilities for special lighting solutions that will, quite literally, give the surface a special glow.  The unique patters and swirls are created from quartz or silicon dioxide and the unique colors are usually a result of different elements in the ground during formation.

Onyx is most often used in areas that receive less wear and tear than the kitchen counter. This material is great for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom countertops, and other places. Since it is a calcium based stone, it is sensitive to acidic compounds, which means you would need to be extra careful of it in busy areas.
