Deep Black Color in an Exceptionally Large Slab Format
At 110″ × 75″, these polished Black Onyx slabs are exceptionally large for natural onyx. Finding slabs of this size with deep black and charcoal across much of the face is rarer still. Smoky gray crystalline bands and amber-gold veins break through the dark field, giving each slab a distinct pattern at full scale.
That scale gives designers room to lay out a feature wall, bar front, or fireplace surround around the character of a single slab. A broad black area can carry across the installation, with an amber vein placed where it will catch the eye. The placement of those features varies from slab to slab, which is why we recommend choosing from full-slab photographs or viewing the stone in person before finalizing the layout.
Black Onyx for Luxury Residential and Hospitality Interiors
In a private residence, a polished Black Onyx fireplace surround can set the tone for an entire room. Deep black and charcoal give the surround visual weight, while amber-gold veining picks up the warmth of walnut or aged brass. In a powder room, a smaller cut with a concentrated band of color can make a custom vanity feel like a piece of furniture.
In hospitality interiors, the 110″ × 75″ slab format gives designers room to carry the stone’s pattern across a hotel reception desk or cocktail bar front. On a long bar, for example, a broad stretch of black can give the front a quiet rhythm, with the strongest amber veining reserved for the end guests see as they enter.
When the stone is this distinctive, it’s worth selecting the slab before finalizing the elevations. Seeing the full face gives the designer and fabricator a chance to place seams, corners, and openings around the formations that make that particular slab worth choosing.
Backlighting Amber Veins and Translucent Crystal
Choosing Your Slab for a One-of-a-Kind Installation
Even slabs cut from the same block can differ dramatically. Some have broad fields of deep black broken by a single amber vein. Others reveal more smoky gray crystal or several smaller pockets that glow when backlit. Our Silver Grey Onyx came from the same block and shows just how far the color can shift within one selection of stone.
Start with the full slab and the dimensions of the finished piece. On a fireplace surround, the opening may cut through the strongest vein. On a bar front, that same vein might be exactly what you want wrapping the corner. For a backlit installation, review the slab with light behind it before deciding which section to use.
If the project calls for more than one slab, we can review the available pieces side by side with you and your fabricator. It’s worth settling the layout early. Another slab may carry the same name, but the balance of black, amber, and translucent crystal is particular to the piece you choose.
