Onyx Stone

Onyx is a semi-precious natural stone consisting of high levels of calcite, similar too other natural stones, and characterized by its banded layered look. Mainly found and quarried in Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan and Mexico. Since it is calcareous material, consisting of quartz and silica, it is softer than other natural stones, (granite, marble, quartzite) yet still hard enough to be used for all sorts of surfaces and applications. It is translucent and considered a luxury stone available in many colors and variations. Due to its natural characteristic, onyx can scratch, etch, stain, and chip easily. Generally, costs more than granite and falls at a mid to high ranged marble. Natural stone sealant required as well as normal maintenance with a balanced PH natural stone soap.
