Persian Onyx Green is one of the most prestigious, historic and appreciated translucent ornamental stones in the world, quarried in the renowned stone basins of Iran (ancient Persia, particularly in the provinces of Yazd and Khorasan). Celebrated since ancient times in monumental architecture and today in high-end interior design for its extraordinary chromatic-crystalline purity and marked aptitude for backlighting, it constitutes a carbonate material of inestimable scenographic value.
Visually, it stands out for a rich, deep and well-saturated background matrix in shades of emerald green, jade green, mint green and pistachio shades, capillarily traversed by elegant layers, veins and waves in shades of white lime, cream, ivory, honey and amber.
Geologically it is classified as a hydrothermal calcareous alabaster/calcareous onyx (freshwater/thermal chemical precipitate consisting predominantly of micro-crystals of aragonite and recrystallized spatic calcite). Being a strictly carbonate matrix material with a microcrystalline structure, 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 acid corrosion. It has a medium-low hardness (Mohs scale 3), a fair mechanical fragility and a high susceptibility to scratches and accidental impacts. Plates intended for furniture projects are systematically vacuum resinized and reinforced with fiberglass back mesh to ensure maximum structural integrity.
– backlit walls and scenic backdrops: an excellent choice for creating high-impact backlit wall coverings, reception desks in luxury hotels, elite cocktail bars, representative rooms and scenic backdrops.
– bookmatch compositions: the veined and layered flow lends itself beautifully to the mirrored pose, transforming the vertical surfaces into true natural artistic backdrops.
– elite bathroom, SPA, and vanity top rooms: widely used for designer bath room coverings, shower walls, and vanity tops for predominantly decorative/residential use.
– luxury furnishing elements and accessories: used for dining or lounge table tops, consoles, ornamental fireplaces, integrated lighting bodies and high-quality decorative inlays.
