When a space needs more than just function—when it calls for presence, emotion, and beauty—that’s where onyx and quartzite come in. These two natural stones couldn’t be more different, and that’s the point.
Onyx offers a translucent glow and artistic unpredictability. It plays with light, color, and pattern in ways that feel more like sculpture than surface—especially when backlit. Quartzite delivers what most homeowners and designers dream of: timeless movement, marble-like veining, and a strength that holds up to real life.
If you’re drawn to bold expression or understated refinement, onyx and quartzite give you both ends of the spectrum—luxury surfaces that can transform kitchens, baths, and beyond.
Design isn’t just visual—it’s emotional. It’s the way a space makes you feel when you walk into it. And that’s where onyx and quartzite do more than most surfaces ever could.
Onyx brings light to life. It’s translucent, almost ethereal—like holding sunlight in stone form. Backlit or not, it carries a kind of glow that feels dramatic, elegant, and impossible to replicate. That’s why designers often use it like fine art: for backsplashes, waterfall vanities, or bar fronts that become conversation pieces.
Quartzite, by contrast, offers a quiet confidence. Born of heat and pressure over millions of years, it’s one of the hardest natural stones available. Its veining and organic texture bring a tactile connection to nature that doesn’t try too hard—it just is. And for a client who wants the visual soul of marble but needs something far more durable, quartzite nails the brief.
Both stones are one-of-a-kind. They don’t repeat, and they don’t feel manufactured. They bring natural variance, layered character, and physical depth to spaces that demand more than a polished surface—they demand personality.
Because in today’s homes, countertops and walls don’t just support function—they carry story.
Here’s the truth: photos can’t do it justice.
Come to the Elements Room showroom to see onyx and quartzite in their full-scale form. Run your hand across the surface. Watch the light move through translucent stone. Compare colors, feel texture, and let our team help you map out fabrication, bookmatching, lighting, and everything else that turns a good install into a showstopper.
We’ve seen onyx vanities turn bathrooms into spa sanctuaries with the flip of a switch. And quartzite flooring lay the foundation for modern spaces that feel grounded, rich, and real. Even smaller applications—like accent walls or custom furniture—can become art when the right slab is chosen and placed with intention.
Imagine a backlit onyx bar wall that glows after dark, casting soft ambient light and shifting color as guests move past it. Or a quartzite kitchen island with sweeping veining that handles hot pans, spills, and everyday life without ever looking tired. This is what happens when natural beauty meets functional strength.
Yes—and that’s one of the reasons designers love it. Quartzite is a hard metamorphic stone that resists scratching, heat, and stains better than many surfaces. If you want something that looks like marble but performs like granite (or better), quartzite is an ideal fit for busy kitchens that still want to look polished.
Yes—but it works best where you can control the lighting. Bars, vanities, statement walls, and reception desks are common spots, but we’ve also seen backlit onyx used in staircases, shelving, and even ceilings. Just be sure the fabrication and lighting are done right—it’s a technical process, but the result is unforgettable.
Quartzite slabs range from creamy whites and soft greys to warm beiges, blush pinks, deep blues, and even greens with dramatic veining. Some look almost like watercolor, while others mimic marble with more muscle. No two are alike, and that’s the point.
Visit Elements Room. We stock a curated selection of premium onyx and quartzite slabs, many of which are available for backlighting or bookmatching. See them up close, feel the texture, and get expert guidance on application, care, and installation.
