Onyx is one of the most distinctive natural stone categories, alongside marble and travertine. Known for its translucency, unique colors, and striking natural patterns, onyx is commonly used in feature applications and high-end architectural projects.
In this guide, we will explore the different types, colors, properties, applications, and pricing factors of onyx stone, as well as how to find a reliable wholesale supplier of onyx blocks, slabs, tiles, and custom-cut onyx products for construction, architectural, and interior design projects. Stay with us as we take a closer look at this remarkable natural stone.
What Is Onyx Stone?
Before anything else, let us become more familiar with onyx stone. Onyx is a natural building material that can be used for flooring, wall cladding, feature countertops, reception desks, and many other architectural applications. Besides its distinctive beauty and wide range of colors, the most remarkable characteristic of onyx stone is its translucency, which allows light to pass through the material. For this reason, onyx is often combined with lighting systems to create stunning visual effects and unique design features in luxury residential, hospitality, and commercial projects.
We will discuss the features and characteristics of onyx stone in more detail in the following sections.
About Onyx Stone
This guide discusses architectural or calcareous onyx used in the dimension-stone industry, not gemological chalcedony onyx. Architectural onyx is a calcite-rich depositional stone, commonly associated with mineral-rich water, cave formations, and similar sedimentary environments. Its layered mineral growth creates the colors, veining, and translucency valued in slabs, tiles, and decorative architectural applications. Because calcite is relatively soft, the stone requires thoughtful selection, fabrication, installation, and care.
Is Onyx a Natural Stone?
Yes, onyx is a completely natural stone formed through geological processes over thousands of years. Since it is a natural material, every onyx block, slab, tile, or finished product has its own unique appearance, with natural variations in color, pattern, and texture. These variations are part of what makes onyx such a distinctive and highly valued stone in the construction and design industries.
Onyx Stone Origin
Commercial architectural onyx is sourced from countries including Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Mexico.
Iran is an important source of architectural onyx in a wide spectrum of colors, including white, blue, pink, red, honey, amber, and green varieties. This diversity gives international buyers, architects, and designers a broad selection of Persian onyx for different project requirements.
Onyx Stone Material
Onyx stone is a natural material primarily composed of calcite, formed through the gradual deposition of mineral-rich water over thousands of years. Compared to harder natural stones such as granite and quartzite, onyx is softer and easier to cut, shape, and process, making it suitable for custom architectural and interior design applications. Its unique physical characteristics and wide range of colors have made onyx a preferred material for feature walls, countertops, fireplaces, decorative panels, and other high-end design elements.
Now that we have become familiar with onyx stone and its general characteristics, let's take a closer look at its properties in the following section of this guide.
Onyx Stone Properties and Characteristics
The distinctive properties of onyx stone are what set it apart from other natural stones and make it one of the most desirable materials for luxury architectural projects. From its ability to transmit light to its wide range of applications and unique physical characteristics, understanding the properties of onyx can help architects, designers, and buyers select the right material for their projects. In this section, we will take a closer look at the most important characteristics of onyx stone.
Onyx Stone Properties
When used as slabs or tiles, onyx stone offers several distinctive properties that make it a preferred material for high-end interior applications:
Translucency: Many architectural onyx varieties allow light to pass through the stone, making suitable materials ideal for illuminated walls, decorative panels, and custom design features.
Elegant Appearance: The stone is available in a wide variety of colors and natural patterns that create a sophisticated aesthetic.
Excellent Polishability: Onyx can achieve a smooth, high-gloss finish that enhances its overall appearance.
Easy Fabrication: Compared to harder natural stones, onyx is easier to cut, shape, and process into custom products.
Moderate Durability: Onyx is suitable for many interior applications but requires proper care and maintenance.
Versatile Applications: It can be used for wall cladding, countertops, fireplaces, vanities, decorative panels, and selected flooring applications.
Natural Uniqueness: Every slab and tile has its own characteristics, making each project distinctive.
These properties make onyx slabs and tiles a preferred choice for luxury residential, hospitality, and commercial projects where aesthetics and exclusivity are key considerations.
Is Onyx a Hard Stone? How Hard Is Onyx Stone?
Onyx is considered a relatively soft natural stone compared to materials such as granite, quartzite, or porcelain. Composed mainly of calcite, it typically has a hardness of around 3 on the Mohs scale, making it more susceptible to scratches, stains, and etching.
While onyx is durable enough for many interior applications, it requires proper care and maintenance to preserve its beauty. For this reason, onyx is most commonly used in decorative features, wall cladding, countertops, and backlit installations rather than in high-traffic areas.
Is Onyx a Precious Stone?
In gemology, onyx usually refers to a variety of chalcedony, whereas the architectural onyx discussed in this guide is calcareous onyx used as a dimension stone. It is therefore not classified as a precious gemstone. However, rare colors, high translucency, purity, large usable sizes, and distinctive patterns can make certain architectural onyx varieties exceptionally valuable in the natural-stone market, including relative to materials such as travertine.
Translucent Onyx Stone
Many architectural onyx varieties transmit light to some degree, although translucency varies significantly with composition, thickness, crystal structure, purity, and veining. Cleaner and more homogeneous materials with fewer impurities may offer higher light transmission, making them particularly suitable for backlit walls, feature panels, and decorative installations. It is also worth noting that onyx is not the only natural stone that can transmit light. Certain white marbles, such as White Gold Marble, and some varieties of alabaster can also exhibit translucency.
Types of Onyx Stone
Like other natural stone categories, onyx can be classified in several ways. Since this guide focuses on onyx as a building material used for flooring, wall cladding, countertops, and decorative applications, we will exclude the broader classification that divides onyx into gemstone and architectural stone.
As a natural building material, onyx can generally be categorized based on the following characteristics:
1. Purity
Some onyx products are composed almost entirely of pure onyx, while others contain impurities or are naturally combined with materials such as travertine, commonly referred to in the stone industry as Traonyx. The purity of the stone can influence its appearance and suitability for certain applications.
2. Color
Onyx is available in a remarkable range of colors, including green, white, blue, red, pink, honey, amber, ivory, brown, and golden shades. Because of this diversity, color has become the most common and widely accepted method of categorizing onyx stone in the natural stone industry.
As color-based classification is the most important and practical way to identify different types of onyx, we will take a closer look at the most popular onyx colors in the following sections.
Onyx Stone Colors
Different types of onyx stone are generally identified and marketed according to their color. The wide range of onyx colors offers architects, designers, and stone buyers numerous options for luxury projects and custom applications. Below, we take a closer look at some of the most common and valuable onyx stone varieties available in the international market.

Raw Onyx Stone
Natural raw onyx stone is commercially traded in the form of onyx blocks in the natural stone industry. Compared to marble and travertine, onyx blocks are generally smaller in size due to the geological characteristics, purity, and formation of onyx deposits. In some quarries, the shape and structure of the reserves also limit the size of extractable blocks. Below, we take a closer look at raw onyx stone reserves and the different formats in which they are sold in the stone industry.
Onyx Quarry
Onyx quarries are the natural sources where raw onyx stone is extracted before being processed into blocks, slabs, tiles, and custom stone products. In addition to commercial blocks, onyx quarries also produce onyx boulders, which are used for landscaping, decorative features, sculptures, and artistic applications. The quality, color range, and commercial value of onyx largely depend on the geological characteristics of each quarry, making every deposit distinct in the natural stone industry.

These quarries produce premium-quality onyx in a wide variety of colors and supply raw materials for architectural and interior design projects worldwide.
Onyx Boulder Stone
Onyx Boulder Stone refers to large, naturally shaped pieces of onyx extracted from quarries that are not processed into standard commercial blocks. Due to their remarkable colors and natural forms, onyx boulders are widely used for landscape design, decorative installations, water features, sculptures, and artistic stone creations. Depending on their size and quality, some boulders can also be further processed into smaller blocks or custom-cut products.
Onyx Block
Onyx blocks are large raw pieces of stone extracted from quarries and serve as the primary material for producing slabs, tiles, and other finished onyx products. Compared with marble and travertine, commercial onyx blocks are generally smaller because of the geological characteristics and structure of onyx deposits.
MGT Stone Co. supplies premium-quality onyx blocks extracted from its own quarries and selected partner quarries across Iran, either directly from the quarry or through its block stock yard. Available in various colors and dimensions, these blocks are carefully selected and inspected before being supplied to stone processors, distributors, and large-scale projects around the world.
