yellow onyx
Onyx · Iran and Pakistan
Diffuse clouds of honey and cream fill the slab in the photo, with a clearly visible oval ring. Yellow onyx is translucent and made for indoors: on a wall with even light behind it, the whole pattern lights up.
It is also known as Onice Giallo.

What Yellow Onyx looks like
The pattern of this slab is cloudy: diffuse honey clouds over a light honey background, with cream and ochre in the palette. There are no marked veins; the concentric oval ring stands out clearly and sits on the right. The contrast between clouds and background is medium; the variation within the slab, moderate. The surface arrives polished and shiny, as in the photo; being translucent, a light behind it lights up the whole.

Yellow Onyx finishes
Three ways to finish this stone: polished and honed change how the surface reflects light; backlighting adds the light behind that lights up the pattern.
-
Polished
Even shine over the honey, cream and ochre palette, exactly as the slab in the photo shows.
-
Honed
Removes the shine of the polish: a matte surface, soft to the touch, with minimal reflection.
-
Backlit
With an even, cool light source behind, the clouds and the ring light up: the pattern reads through the stone.

Questions about Yellow Onyx
Is Onice Giallo Yellow Onyx?
Yes. Onice Giallo is another way of writing the name of this same stone. Before you buy, we send photos of the slabs available for your order.
What do I need to backlight Yellow Onyx?
An even, cool light source mounted behind the panel: that is what backlighting needs so the stone does not heat up. With the light on, the pattern reads through the stone, clouds and ring included.
How is it different from Honey Onyx?
In its photo, honey onyx spreads the pattern in soft bands with a vertical fibrous texture. In its own, this yellow onyx shows diffuse clouds and a concentric oval ring. Both are translucent and, like all onyx, they are cleaned with a soft cloth and no acidic cleaners.
How do you clean Yellow Onyx?
A soft cloth, water and neutral soap are enough for all the cleaning; no acidic or abrasive cleaners. Water leaves a mark as it dries: dry the surface after cleaning. Lemon or vinegar etches this stone the same way it etches a marble.
How does Yellow Onyx reach my country?
We ship to any country, with the stone's documents of origin and its CE certification. On the shipping page we explain how it reaches each region.
