Onyx Tile & Mosaics

Shop onyx tile and mosaics: genuine natural honey onyx in polished and split-faced finishes, from field tile to basketweave, stanza and octagon mosaics. Browse honey onyx tile or learn what onyx is first.

Onyx occupies a category of its own among natural stone. Its translucency — the way light passes through the stone rather than reflecting off it — creates a luminous, gem-like quality that marble and travertine cannot replicate. Honey (Giallo Crystal) Onyx is the primary onyx family in this collection, characterized by warm golden and amber tones with distinctive banded veining.

Where Onyx Works Best

Backsplash: Warm golden tones pair naturally with wood cabinetry, brass or gold hardware, and warm-toned countertops. Available in basketweave, stanza, and other mosaic patterns.

Vanity wall and feature: When backlit, honey onyx becomes extraordinary — the warm golden tones glow and banding becomes vividly visible. Verify structural and electrical requirements before planning a backlit installation.

Accent wall: Used in a limited accent application — a niche, a headboard wall, a fireplace surround — honey onyx creates a premium statement.

Care and Considerations

Onyx is softer and more porous than marble. Seal before installation and reseal regularly. Avoid acidic cleaners and abrasive scrubbers. Best suited to low-traffic wall applications. Order one sample for $7.95, or choose any 5 for $25, with free standard shipping on sample-only orders.

Onyx marble, onyx stone and what we carry

Onyx is often searched as "onyx marble" or "onyx stone". It is its own natural stone: banded, translucent and softer than marble. Our onyx collection centers on honey onyx, also called Giallo Crystal, in warm amber, honey and cream bands. If you want a gentler, more durable stone, see marble tile or travertine tile. Compare them in what is marble and what is travertine.
