Onyx Tile & Mosaics

Onyx Tile and Mosaics

Onyx is the most dramatic natural stone we carry. It is translucent, richly banded and polished to a deep gloss, so light seems to move through it. It is ideal where you want a statement: a feature wall, a vanity backdrop or a backlit bar front. Most of our onyx is quarried in Turkey.

Colors

White Onyx has a milky white base with soft cream and gray clouding, offered in cross-cut and vein-cut. Honey Onyx glows with golden amber and honey bands. Green Onyx adds a rare, jewel-toned accent.

Where it works

Onyx is softer than marble, so it's best on walls and in low-traffic spaces: bathroom and shower walls, backsplashes, powder rooms, fireplace surrounds and accent walls. On floors, use it in light-use rooms or as inlays.

Finishes and sizes

The collection is polished, with a split-face mosaic option. Field tile runs from 12x12 and 18x18 to 12x24, 6x18 and 9x18, plus 3x6 subway tile and special-cut sizes. There are also mosaics, pencil liners, shampoo niches and soap holders.

Price range

Onyx field tile typically runs about $13 to $38 per sq ft. Honey Onyx sits at the lower end, and premium White Onyx at the upper end.

Care

Seal before grouting and reseal regularly. Clean only with a pH-neutral stone cleaner, and avoid acids and abrasives.

Every onyx block is unique, so order a sample before you buy.
