This Iranian onyx is a relatively soft and porous material compared to granite, best suited for interior applications where its unique beauty can be showcased.

Distinctive Characteristics of this Iranian Onyx:

The defining characteristic of onyx is its translucence, which allows light to pass through the stone, creating a unique glowing effect. This translucence is due to the stone’s crystalline structure and how it interacts with light. The color palette of this Royal Rainbow onyx is a breathtaking display of earthy tones, including creams, beiges, browns, golds, and grays, often swirling together in dynamic patterns. These colors create a sense of warmth, depth, and natural artistry. The banding patterns in onyx are often irregular and less defined than in travertine, creating a more organic and artistic appearance. The provided image showcases complex, swirling patterns, with layers of varying shades and translucency, giving it a three-dimensional effect.

This particular variety of Iranian onyx, known as Royal Rainbow onyx slab, is named for its majestic appearance and diverse color palette, evoking a sense of royalty and natural splendor. The complex swirling patterns and wide range of colors make it a highly sought-after material for creating truly unique and impactful designs.

Onyx is a form of chalcedony, which is a microcrystalline form of quartz. It is formed in cavities within volcanic rock by the precipitation of silica-rich water. This unique formation process gives onyx its distinctive translucence and banding.

Onyx is softer and more porous than granite and requires careful handling and maintenance. It is susceptible to scratches and etching from acidic substances. Proper care and maintenance, including regular cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner and regular sealing, are essential to maintain its beauty and prevent damage. Onyx is best suited for interior applications where it won’t be exposed to harsh weather or heavy use.
