The elegant natural stone onyx marble has been used since late antiquity for decoration and accents in architecture, for figurines and for church windows. Its interesting patterning and extremely memorable appearance are reminiscent of marble and onyx - but neither stone is contained in onyx marble. Onyx marble is a common calcareous sinter (source lime) whose minerals have taken on a crystalline form.
The natural stone is extracted from underground freshwater springs in whose interstices lime deposits have formed. The memorable banding of the stones comes from iron deposits in the stone and varies in color from green, blue to the typical red. Because of this, onyx marble, like the Granite, often used on facades. This allows special accents to be set in the garden.
However, onyx marble is also frequently used in interiors - many people particularly like to use it for decorations and figurines. Here it can be illuminated to emphasize the special structure and individuality of the stone - Its transcendence was already impressive in ancient times in the form of church windows and figures.
At the same time, the minerals contained in onyx marble give it a shiny, almost radiant surface. If it is well cared for and polished, the stone can also be used for stairs, worktops or as wall decoration.

The natural stone onyx marble belongs to the group of non-marine sediments - i.e. limestones. Calcite and aragonite - the two forms of calcium carbonate contained in onyx marble - occur in crystallized form and the minerals form slender crystals on the surface. Like granite, aragonite crystals are not only very popular in architecture - they are also regarded as healing gemstones. The calming effect of healing stones on their environment is intended to counteract excessive demands and stress. The crystal is also said to counteract nightmares and poor sleep and stabilize the body and mind.
However, the biggest advantage of onyx marble is the impressive play of light. The stone is translucent up to a thickness of 3 cm, creating unique plays of color and individual structures. The banding of the onyx marble ranges in color from white to yellow and orange, to deep red and warm green. The special sheen makes the calcareous sinter shine even more, but it needs to be well cared for and oiled.
Despite its natural surface, onyx marble is easy to work with. For example, if the stone is cut to a low thickness and backed with reinforcing material, it can also be used for floor tiles. This is because the stone becomes lighter and consequently more resistant to breakage.
