Featured Stone of the week

Posted on November 15, 2010August 21, 2014 by admin

Here we showcase our Polished, Stalattite Brown Onyx a warm honey chocolate hued material from the Middle East. This material was once originally formed in deep caverns possibly as a Stalactite formation collectively known as a dripstone. Over a period of time, space and its overall dependence and presence of air it continues to “drip” down accumulating its icicle structure through calcification born out of cold mineral springs. On the other end of the spectrum there are Stalagmites which are formed while on the ground and is created by the same process but accrete into a piller formation…this amazing process is a love story of stone where the Stalactites meets the Stalagmites and fuse together in this eternal bond that we call stone or rather in this case Onyx.

This material would be worthy to be used as a vanity, shower surround, fireplace, etc…there are virtually endless possibilities for such a material as this Vein cut Stalattite Brown Onyx. We have a light with a lot of movement (see the picture included) as well as a dark version that has a bit more linear veining with a wood-like accent.

We recommend that this material be viewed in person as it’s wholeheartedly reminiscent to the precious stone known as “Tiger Eye” or perhaps something more as it’s all in the eye of the beholder.
