  1. ONYX MARBLE

  2. Onyx Marble Want to know which stone is the showstopper of the stones? It is the mystical Onyx which has been used for centuries in jewelry, architectural designs, and carvings. There are a number of vibrant colors, stunning swirly patterns, and unusual transparency makes it very desirable because of its unique appearance. It is the finest marble and is very rare to find because of which it has become a status symbol. It has always been an admired choice for architects to add a rare classic touch to their homes to make their construction and designing stand out. The sales person in the shop will be wide-eyed if you ask him to show you Onyx.

  3. How is Onyx formed? • It is mostly formed in dark caves and is composed of calcite. Countries with such dark caves are South America, North Africa, and South America. • The leftovers after the evaporation of water dripped from stalactites contain small dumps of calcium carbonate and other minerals. These mineral deposits cause the stone to have beautiful swirly patterns and spots.

  4. Onyx Vs Marble Marble and onyx are more like cousins. They come from the same family. However, there are a number of differences in both of them. Since marble is strong, it can be used as a countertop. On the other hand, Onyx will only add beauty to your house. It is fragile and will chip easily since it cannot resist water and heat the way marble does.

  5. Uses of Onyx Marble • Onyx marble has excellent uses. Onyx marble is used most often as a fireplace surround; bar top, or as a small island as it transmits light. It is also used as cabochons and for building material. Careful consideration is required when using onyx marble at your residential area. Think of your own lifestyle and conditions before purchase onyx as a countertop surface or a bar top. • Other uses further include wall cladding, light duty home floors, sinks base, and tables. Onyx could also used for novelty items such as vases, urns, wine goblets, lamps and bowls. It really works wonderful where you could accent the stone and use under lighting or backlighting to draw attention of its transparent qualities. Onyx marble could be purchased in tile shape or in large slabs for a versatile look and feel.
