red onyx
Onyx · Iran and Pakistan
Irregular dark red and orange spots splash across the rust-red background in the photo, with a greenish ochre zone on the left. Red Onyx is fragile and translucent: it goes on interior walls and, with light behind it, the spots light up.
Also known as Onice Rosso.

What Red Onyx looks like
Rust red fills the slab's background, splashed with irregular dimensional spots of dark red and orange. A greenish ochre zone opens on the left: that is how much the pattern changes within this slab. The pattern is cloudy: the spots blur into the background and the contrast stays mid-level. In the photo the red arrives polished and shines. As befits an onyx, the stone can let light through.

Red Onyx finishes
The surface shine is chosen between polished and honed; the light effect comes with backlighting.
-
Polished
The one in the photo: the highest shine, with reflection over the rust red.
-
Honed
Matte and soft to the touch: it removes the polished reflection where the wall gets a lot of daylight.
-
Backlit
With even cool light behind it, the stone lets the lighting through and the spots light up.

Questions about Red Onyx
How is Red Onyx different from Fantastico Onyx?
They share the reddish tone, not the pattern. In its photo, Fantastico Onyx alternates strongly marked horizontal bands of white, reddish and ochre. In yours, Red Onyx instead blurs its dark red and orange spots into clouds.
Can Red Onyx be installed with light behind it?
Yes: it is where this stone looks best. With even cool lighting behind it, the light passes through the stone and the spots light up. Before you buy, we send photos of the slabs available for your order.
Does Red Onyx work for a kitchen countertop?
Not as a work surface. The stone is fragile and soft: acids from lemon, tomato or vinegar leave marks, just as on marble. Inside a kitchen, its place is a wall or the bar front, away from the prep area. For the work surface, see the kitchen page.
How do you clean Red Onyx?
This onyx cleans with the basics: water, a neutral soap and a soft cloth. Dry the water left on the surface: drops that dry on their own leave marks. Acid cleaners and abrasives stay out of this stone's routine.
How does Red Onyx reach my country?
We ship to any country, with the stone's documents of origin and CE certification. The shipping page explains how it reaches each region. This onyx comes from Iran or Pakistan.
