Onyx Iris Light – yellow onyx of natural origin

Onyx Iris Light is a delicate and luminous natural limestone onyx mined in selected deposits in Iran and Mexico. It is widely appreciated in high-end interior architecture and luxury contracts for the extreme elegance of its light background and the warm, subtle mineral nuances that run through it.

Visually, it has a translucent and ethereal background in shades of cream, straw yellow and ivory, embellished with fine veins, halos and clouds shaded in shades of honey, amber, pale pink and rust. The pronounced transparency of its crystalline matrix makes it one of the most physically efficient materials for LED backlighting, capable of diffusing a warm, soft and enveloping light.

Technical characteristics of the Onyx Iris Light

Geologically it is a sedimentary rock of chemical origin (calcareous onyx/alabaster) with a predominantly carbonate matrix and microcrystalline structure. Its high translucency is accompanied by the typical properties of calcitic materials: it is highly sensitive to food and chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine and anti-limescale) and has reduced resistance to scratches and mechanical abrasion. To maintain its beauty unchanged over time, it requires hydro-oil-repellent protective treatments and careful installation in predominantly decorative and representative areas of use.

Applications in design

– backlit walls and structures: the application of choice: perfect for scenic accent walls, reception desks, bar tops, illuminated and back-to-back niches in residential or hotel rooms.

– “bookmatch” compositions: the mirrored pose enhances the delicacy of the honeyed veins, creating light and sophisticated natural paintings.

– custom-made furnishing elements: used for the creation of smoking tables, consoles, fireplace surrounds and exclusive furnishing accessories.

– elite bathroom environments: ideal for vertical state-of-the-art upholstery, shower walls and decorative vanity tops (with appropriate sealing and appropriate maintenance).
