Onyx countertops ooze glamor and luxury and are indeed a deluxe choice. But that’s aside from how much amount of upkeep and maintenance they require. First, you can only use onyx on low-volume areas around the fireplace and bathroom vanities. It’s nowadays also used on walls around the sink too. Marble would be another alternative for these areas but marble does not have the translucent look like onyx.
Historically though, it was common to use onyx on novelty and precious items in noble houses. They were expensive, much like they are today, and nobody had discovered how they could be used to make countertops.
Today, much as it’s an ideal choice for a countertop, Onyx stone does well in well-lit areas. Its translucent feature is enough to highlight its majestic status, especially when it reflects light. The contrasting colors make the whole area look stunningly dramatic with an aura of a visual masterpiece.
