A Royal Stone With A Luxury Feel
About Onyx
Onyx is a calcareous stone formed by dissolving limestone and redeposited as a new kind of stone. It is a soft and brittle stone that should be carefully evaluated for its intended use. Like granite and marble, you should seal onyx. Onyx is a semiprecious translucent natural stone. A common way of enhancing the beauty of the Onyx stone is by bathing it with light or back lights. By adding these lights, the Onyx countertop will have an even greater appeal. Onyx colors can range from white to a deep green.
