White Onyx is an ethereal natural stone celebrated for its luminous, crystalline background and delicate, cloud-like veining. Unlike marble, this stone is a banded variety of calcite formed by the slow precipitation of calcium carbonate from spring water. Its most striking feature is its remarkable translucency, which allows it to glow with a soft, milky-white hue when backlit, making it a premier choice for statement feature walls and luxury vanities. While its delicate structure requires careful maintenance, its visual depth is unparalleled. Interestingly, the name Onyx is derived from the Greek word for fingernail, a nod to the stone’s flesh-toned translucency.
White Onyx — 2 cm white with semi-white and grey onyx, polished, from 117″ × 67″ to 122″ × 68″ across the lot. Lot 143111 has 2 slabs available at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 120″ × 68″, about 57 square feet. Sizes across the lot run from 117″ × 67″ to 122″ × 68″. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is white with semi-white and grey. 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.

Where it works
For this kind of stone, the usual applications are feature walls, backsplashes, and accent panels. 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 Powder and a Bathroom.
The material
Onyx is a banded, often translucent stone. It is chosen for feature walls, backlit panels, and accents more often than for a hard-working kitchen. It is softer than granite and should be treated as a decorative stone. Light passing through a slab is part of the look, so thickness and finish both change how the color reads.
