THE MATERIAL.

The term “onyx” is used to refer to two distinct rock families: siliceous onyx (black in hue with white streaks) and calcareous onyx (or alabastrite, available in different colors). Mineralogically, it is classified as a variety of chalcedony, that is, quartz in compact microcrystalline masses, the color of which varies from opaque to semi-opaque. It is a valuable and delicate material at the same time, translucent, very compact and also backlit. Due to its wide color variety and its own hardness and brightness, onyx is used in different environments and for different purposes. In addition to its widespread use in crystal therapy, on a practical level it is used for the creation of backlit furniture elements that give harmony and brightness to the ‘environment, but also for the creation of floors and walls (especially in the bathroom area),design objects and precious jewelry. Volcano Onyx is a clouded onyx with large areas of dark and light honey brown alternating with lighter lines and veins. Light-colored veins are normally transparent to light. The main characteristic of onyxes is the veined texture. The surface has surface cracking lines that are to be considered solely and exclusively a specific characteristic of this type of marble.
