Onyx

Onyx natural stone

With its translucent qualities and striking patterns, onyx is often used to create statement pieces. Best suited for areas where it can be backlit or showcased as a focal point.

Onyx is a softer natural stone that needs more care and attention. Its opaque nature means it changes in different lights and often includes interesting patterns and inclusions. We have a live slab inventory of onyx in stock and we can help you source the slab that you would like for your project if we don’t have what you want. We are equally happy to work with stone you have sourced yourself.
