Onyx Marble
Onyx is an exclusive stone that is rare to find. Known for its translucent property, Onyx takes centuries to form. Unlike most natural stones, Onyx is formed on the surface of the Earth itself. It is formed by the accumulated minerals of ground or spring water. This distinct formation process of the Onyx stone creates surface patterns that closely resemble the twist-and-turn movement of water. So when you bring home a piece of Onyx, you don’t just bring the stone. You bring along an extraordinary piece of natural history!
The applications of the stone are largely restricted to its aesthetic appeal. The beauty of Onyx is heightened when it is backlit, which imparts a mystical and earthy glow. You can use it as a backsplash or countertop, or for any similar beautifying application. However, due to its fragility, Onyx is not recommended for intense daily-use applications. Fireplaces with Onyx lining and skylights with Onyx frames are trending interior design concepts. Unlike decorative items, Onyx installation are not temporary. Each fitting is done to last for a lifetime.
Onyx goes hand in hand with minimalistic interiors. A decluttered room with soft colours forms the ideal space for Onyx to beautify with its unique backlit glow. Onyx by itself is an artwork.

This invites viewers to marvel at Onyx, the rare beauty of nature.
