Green Onyx Marble Slab - Translucent Iranian Onyx for Backlit Feature Walls

Iranian Green Onyx is a translucent natural onyx prized for its vivid green base, dynamic veining, and unique ability to transmit light. Unlike marble or limestone, onyx allows LED backlighting to pass through the slab, revealing depth and colour shifts that transform a wall, bar front, or reception desk into a luminous focal point. Apexstone supplies full-size Green Onyx slabs cut from select Iranian quarry blocks, polished to maximise translucency, for luxury residential, hospitality, and commercial interior projects worldwide.

What Makes Onyx Different from Marble?

Onyx is a cryptocrystalline quartz-family stone formed in mineral springs, giving it a denser, more uniform structure than marble or limestone. Its defining characteristic is translucency: light passes through the slab at thicknesses of 10-20 mm (3/8-3/4 inch), making it the only natural stone suitable for backlit installations. Green Onyx from Iran is among the most sought-after varieties, with a saturated green body colour ranging from deep forest to bright emerald, crossed by white, gold, and brown vein bands that create natural landscape-like patterns.

Onyx typically has a density of 2.5-2.7 g/cm³, water absorption below 0.5%, and Mohs hardness of 6-7, placing it harder than marble (3-4) and comparable to granite. This density, combined with its fine grain, allows onyx to accept a high-gloss polish that maximises both surface reflectivity and light transmission.

Backlit Feature Wall Applications

The primary application for Green Onyx slabs is the backlit feature wall. When LED panels are mounted behind thin onyx panels (10-15 mm / 3/8-5/8 inch thickness), the stone glows from within, creating a warm, immersive ambience that no other material can replicate. Common installations include hotel lobby reception walls, restaurant and bar feature walls, living room accent walls, master bedroom headboard walls, and spa or wellness centre partition screens.

Bar Tops and Reception Desks

Beyond feature walls, Green Onyx slabs are fabricated into bar tops, reception desk surfaces, and counter fronts where the backlit effect creates a dramatic hospitality moment. The slab is cut to size on CNC bridge saws, edge-profiled (eased, beveled, or bullnose), and polished on both faces so the backlighting transmits evenly. Bar tops in 20 mm (3/4 inch) thickness provide sufficient structural integrity while maintaining translucency.

Mosaic and Tile Formats

For decorative wall surfaces, Green Onyx is also cut into mosaic tiles and 3D textured panels. Herringbone, hexagon, basketweave, and cubic 3D mosaic formats create intricate wall cladding patterns that catch light at different angles. These smaller formats are ideal for powder room accent walls, shower feature panels, and niche surrounds where full slabs are impractical.

Slab Cutting and Processing

Each Green Onyx slab is cut from select Iranian quarry blocks using gang-saw technology with chilled water and steel shot abrasive. The slabs are then dried, inspected for fractures and colour consistency, and processed through polishing lines to achieve a high-gloss finish that maximises translucency. For backlit applications, slabs can be calibrated to 10 mm (3/8 inch) or 15 mm (5/8 inch) thickness to optimise light transmission without sacrificing structural integrity.
