Onyx Multigreen - natural green onyx

Technical characteristics of the Onyx Multigreen

Geologically it is classified as a hydrothermal calcareous alabaster/calcareous onyx (freshwater/thermal chemical precipitate consisting predominantly of aragonite and recrystallized spatic calcite, with inclusions of iron oxides and accessory minerals responsible for polychromy). Being a strictly carbonate matrix material with high crystalline porosity, 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 structural fragility along the stratification planes and a high susceptibility to scratches and accidental impacts. The slabs are systematically vacuum resinized and reinforced with fiberglass back mesh.

Applications in design

– backlit walls: high-impact dramatic backlit walls, hotel reception desks, elite cocktail bars, executive lobbies, and accent walls.

– bookmatch compositions: the layered, polychrome movement lends itself beautifully to mirrored poses, transforming vertical surfaces into true translucent natural patterns.

– designer bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: widely used for elite bathroom upholstery, scenic shower walls and vanity tops for mainly decorative/residential use (avoiding the use of acidic or abrasive substances).

– luxury furnishing elements and accessories: used for lounge table tops, entry consoles, ornamental fireplaces, light fixtures and custom inlay inserts.
