Onyx // A graceful touch

Nature is always an endless source of references. Natural Onyx is a beautiful, intriguing and quite rare material and it can be used in different way to give a touch of character and dramatic effect into a space. Onyx is a form of quartz stone, it has many colors: yellow, green, red, white, etc. The rich look of this stone can give grace to every space. Below a visual reference library that it may inspired you. I love onyx!
