White Onyx is a luxurious, translucent natural stone known for its elegant veining and ability to create striking backlit designs, making it a popular choice in high-end interior applications.
Onyx is one of the highest quality, most popular, and most luxurious stones in the world. Its most unique feature is its ability to allow light to pass through its surface, which significantly increases the price of White Onyx stone slabs compared to other stones. This property makes White Onyx particularly sought after for luxury projects.
One of the most renowned varieties of onyx is White Onyx shrine stone, which is notable for its extensive and diverse ores found in Iran. These ores, with their unique properties and striking colors, are used in many special applications. The cost of White Onyx is relatively high, and it is exported both in raw (block) form and cut (slab) form worldwide.
The name “White Onyx” is associated with its historical use, as the raw quarries of this stone were once purchased by Astan Quds Razavi and the royal court of the Eighth Imam (PBUH) for projects related to Astan Quds. Currently, White Onyx is primarily produced in slab form. Due to rising costs for raw blocks and production, slab processing is more economical because it results in less waste. Advanced techniques such as polishing, epoxy application, and UV treatments are employed to enhance the stone’s appearance. High-quality polishers and careful processing contribute to a more visually striking polished surface.
White shrine onyx slabs are known for their very high density, superb polishability, and glossy surface. They exhibit eye-catching beauty, light transmittance, minimal water absorption, and can be crafted into book-match and four-match frames. Additionally, they have excellent abrasion resistance and high compressive strength.
