The 3D scene is generated in real time from an actual photograph of the slab and is intended as a guide. In natural stone the veining, tone and texture differ on every slab; the final choice should be made on a physical sample or slab approval.
Colour range sampled from the slab
Brown Onyx is a natural stone — a rare onyx in brown tones, carrying white and cream veining as well. Its unusual, rich colour creates a warmth you would not expect from a natural stone. Brown Onyx is frequently chosen for interior decoration for its appearance and its durability.
Brown Onyx can be used in many ways: worktops, basins, wall panels, floors, fireplaces and much more. Its colouring provides a natural touch and a warm atmosphere. It can be used on its own as a focal point, or combined with other colours to build more complex compositions. Used on kitchen or bathroom worktops, it also makes a hard-wearing surface.
Care note
Onyx is a soft, porous stone. It should be impregnated once a year, and cleaners containing acid or alcohol avoided. In backlit applications the back face must be protected from moisture.
