Onyx stone has always been one of the coveted stones. Some believe that the Stones were nothing more than Onyx stones.
Another piquant story relates to the building of the library at Yale University – the original plan was to cover the walls with onyx surfaces, but since the right amount of shade was not found, they had to “settle” there on plain marble…
Like granite and being a natural stone, Onyx stone is formed in natural processes in the depths of the earth. Most of the stone is made of quartz and its texture is made of strips and tendons.
The onyx is carved and cut into boards with each board different from one another – an added benefit for those looking for uniqueness. Also, Onyx stone comes in a huge variety of shades, textures and colors so if you are looking for a surface that will fit your kitchen and home, Onyx stone is likely to meet the task with no problem.
The main advantage of having onyx stone in the kitchen is the appearance and prestige it brings with it. In our opinion, there is no longer such a prestige that in addition to its transparency, quite impressive design achievements can be achieved. Want to turn on your designer?
