What are the characteristics of

Bubble onyx?

Bubble onyx is extracted in Turkey.

Its main characteristic is its translu-

cency, especially in the lighter parts,

which have a very subtle beige colour

easily penetrated by LED light placed

between the wall and the onyx slab.

This particularity makes it perfect

for backlit interior elements like the

bathroom we created for an extremely

demanding client.

Is it a precious, particularly rare

material?

Yes, Bubble onyx is a very rare mate-

rial, and it is also for this reason that

the environment in which it is inserted

acquires uniqueness and importance,

especially in this case, where the ma-

terial covers both the wall and the sink

area for an effect dominated exclu-

sively by onyx. The client who chose

Bubble onyx found the answer to their

aesthetic vision without sacrif icing

practicality, both in terms of elegance

and durability.

Which other onyx varieties are

suitable for such projects?

Rosa Onyx is our recommendation for

those seeking signif icant backlight-

ing due to its very clear background,

homogeneous pink crossed by white

streaks, making it particularly perme-

able to light Honey Onyx has similar

characteristics with a warmer tone

on a cloudy ochreyellow base or

Ivory Onyx If the client is looking for

eloquent streaks we would suggest

Fantastic Onyx or Volcano Onyx with

energetic veins and vibrant contrasting

colours
