Onyx Vulcano – natural red onyx

Onyx Volcano is an extraordinary and exotic natural limestone onyx mined in Pakistan’s renowned deposits. Celebrated in high-end interior architecture for the dramatic scenography of its design, it evokes in its name and appearance the visual energy and chromatic power of magma and fire.
Visually, it is distinguished by an intense and highly dynamic background in shades of fiery red, terracotta, burgundy and rust, crossed by marked fluid streaks, mineral swirls and translucent flames in shades of amber yellow, orange, honey, ivory and smoky black. The strong contrast between the incandescent fields and the dark or translucent veins gives the slabs a three-dimensional depth and a highly expressive character.

Technical characteristics of Onyx Volcano

Geologically it is a sedimentary rock of chemical origin (calcareous onyx/calcareous alabaster consisting mainly of aragonite and calcite). As a stone with a strictly carbonate matrix, it is highly sensitive to food and chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices and anti-limescale detergents) and is subject to immediate opacification or corrosion if in contact with acidic substances. It has a low surface hardness and a marked mechanical delicacy, requiring the usual processes of vacuum resining and reinforcing back screening on the sheets.

Applications in design

– backlit walls: the pronounced translucent capacity of the aragonitic matrix combined with the chromatic flares makes it the ideal choice for LED backlit walls in luxury hotel lobbies, boutiques and scenic salons.

– bar and reception desks: used for the cladding of reception desks, bar desks and corner lounges with a very high visual impact.

– bathroom rooms and vanity tops d’élite: used for furnishing vanity tops, accent shower walls and vertical bookmatch cladding

– furnishing tables and design accessories: highly sought after for smoking table tops, art consoles, decorative elements and modern fireplace surrounds.
