• 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.

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.

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.

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

  large slabs for a versatile look and feel.
