Blue Moon Onyx Slabs | Translucent Gray Backlit Stone | Caron Stone
A Masterpiece of Light and Shadow Blue Moon Onyx is prized for its versatility. In natural light, it presents a sophisticated, cool grey palette suitable for contemporary minimalist designs. However, turn on the LED backlighting, and it transforms into a dramatic centerpiece, revealing hidden layers of depth and warm golden hues.
Ideal for Statement Pieces This stone is too beautiful to hide. It is best used in vertical applications or low-traffic areas where its artistry can be admired:
- Backlit Feature Walls: Create a stunning focal point in a living room or hotel lobby.
- Bar Countertops: The translucent surface makes it perfect for under-lit bars and islands.
- Luxury Bathrooms: Use large slabs for shower walls or vanity tops to create a spa-like atmosphere.

Fabrication & Installation
Expert Handling Required Onyx is a delicate material. At Caron Stone, we treat every slab with care:
- Resin Treatment: We use high-quality epoxy resin to fill natural voids and strengthen the slab structure.
- Cut-to-Size: We can cut slabs to your specific wall or counter dimensions.
- Lighting Advice: For the best backlit effect, we recommend using uniform LED light sheets installed 5-10cm behind the stone.
FAQ
Q: Can Blue Moon Onyx be used for kitchen countertops? A: While beautiful, Onyx is softer and more porous than granite or quartz. We recommend it for bar tops, vanities, or vertical walls. If used in a kitchen, it must be sealed frequently and treated with care to avoid scratching or etching.
Q: How do I achieve the backlit effect? A: You need to install a light source (LED panels are best) behind the stone. The stone is translucent, allowing the light to pass through. We can guide your contractor on the proper spacing.
Q: Do you sell tiles or just slabs? A: We primarily sell large slabs to maintain the continuity of the vein pattern (book-matching). However, we can cut these slabs into tiles for specific project requirements.
