About White Onyx Blocks : Onyx is actually a type of marble. It is found in most of the countries where marble and travertine are extracted. Since it is a veined and fragile stone, it is difficult to remove a large-sized and clean-textured block. Therefore, although it has the same features as marble, it is more expensive. Not to mention its colorful beauty!

Onyx comes in varying degrees of patterns and a rainbow of stunning colors.

Marble is heavier and harder than onyx. Scratch the underside of both objects with a knife. The blade should leave little or no marks on the marble surface. Since onyx is softer, traces remain on its surface. Onyx is more translucent than marble; it allows the light to pass through easily.
