Breccia Oniciata is a prestigious Italian marble quarried in the province of Brescia, Lombardy. This classic stone is defined by its namesake brecciated structure, featuring a warm beige to hazelnut background interlaced with a complex network of white and creamy veins, occasionally touched by soft pink or orange hues. Formed over 250 million years ago, its unique appearance is the result of natural geological forces fusing together angular rock fragments into a dense, durable limestone matrix. Renowned for its magnetic warmth and refined movement, it is a favored choice for luxury flooring and statement fireplaces. Interestingly, its name translates to onyx-like breccia, reflecting the translucent, multi-layered depth and rich tonality that mimics the aesthetic of semi-precious onyx.
Breccia Oniciata is a 2 cm beige marble, offered in a polished finish. Lot TM15083 runs from 130″ × 76″ to 133″ × 77″ and is currently on hold at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 131″ × 76″, about 69 square feet. Sizes across the lot run from 130″ × 76″ to 133″ × 77″. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is beige. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade.
The polished finish is reflective and lets the color read clearly. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.
In the yard
Lot TM15083 at our Los Angeles yard shows 9 slabs in stock, 9 slabs on hold, and none currently available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.
The yard can confirm whether a held slab can be released.
Where it works
For this kind of stone, the usual applications are bathrooms, vanities, fireplace surrounds, and feature walls. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed. Inspiration photos show this stone in a Kitchen.
The material
Marble is a metamorphic stone, recrystallized from limestone, and it is valued for veining and a luminous surface. It is softer and more sensitive to acids than granite or quartzite, so wine, citrus, and strong cleaners can etch a polish. That is why it is a classic for bathrooms, vanities, fireplaces, and walls, and for kitchens when the owner wants the look and will live with a natural patina. A honed face shows etching less than a high polish. Vein direction should be planned on the actual slabs before fabrication.
