Union Tiles: Onyx – A Natural Beauty

Onyx is a natural stone that makes its presence felt in the luxury design area. It is a stone that is rarely found and it is becoming renowned for its extreme elegance, glamour and vividness.  With its translucent appearance, wide array of colours and rich patterns to choose from, onyx is a natural choice for those wanting a dramatic impact.

Very scarcely found, hence it is more precious; Onyx is considered a semi-precious stone and is among the reins of stones like lapis lazuli and alabaster. This stone, although being rare, has been quite a favourite in luxury design materials. Onyx is a form of chalcedony, part of the quartz group.  Like the other stones in the chalcedony family, Onyx has a smooth, waxy lustre and can be found in a wide range of colours, often layered. Onyx is also considered in an auspicious manner as a great alternative to granite, marble, and other more popular stone surfaces, onyx provides a sleek and modern look to any workspace.

Onyx is formed in caves as stalactites and stalagmites drip to form this precious stone. Onyx Countertops are a rarity as they bring a unique appearance with strikingly dramatic appeal. Not often placed in a horizontal orientation such as a countertop, onyx countertops are a unique and premium surface. With its exclusive style, onyx generally comes in swirling and pastel colour patterns. Union Tiles offer over 9 onyx colour choices of this exceptional stone, in-stock and ready to be delivered for your unique project surfaces. Contact: Union Tiles
