Product Overview: Snow White Onyx
Snow White Onyx (nota anche come Persian White Onyx) is celebrated for its ethereal beauty. Unlike marble, which is opaque, this rare Iranian Onyx allows light to pass through its crystalline structure, creating a soft, warm glow. The surface is smooth and milky, resembling a frozen lake or a fluffy cloud.
Because of its delicacy and beauty, Snow White Onyx is considered a semi-precious stone in the architectural world. As a professional Snow White Onyx Supplier in China, Caron Stone imports premium blocks directly from Iran and processes them into high-gloss Lastre di onice that are ready to transform any interior space.

Come / Perché / Cosa / Opzioni / Considerazioni
Che cos’è: Snow White Onyx is a cryptocrystalline form of limestone (calcite), technically distinct from marble. Its defining characteristic is translucency. Unlike solid white marble (like Thassos), light can penetrate up to 2-3cm deep into this onyx, revealing its inner crystalline cloud patterns.
Why it defines “Luxury”: In 2025 interior design, lighting is everything. Snow White Onyx serves a dual purpose: it is a sleek, white surface by day, and a glowing, atmospheric art piece by night. This “transformative” quality makes it indispensable for 5-star hotel lobbies, private bars, and master bath feature walls.
How we ensure structural integrity: Onyx is naturally fragile and prone to fissures. At Caron Stone, we apply a double-layer epoxy resin process combined with a fiberglass mesh backing. This reinforces the slab, allowing for safe cutting and installation without compromising its light-transmitting properties.
Options (Selection Strategy):
Pure White vs. Spider Vein: “Premium Select” slabs are almost pure milky white (highest price). Standard grades feature “spider web” veining in cream or rust tones, which can add dramatic character to backlit walls at a more accessible price point.
Considerations (The “Fragility” Factor):
Installazione: Never use standard cement mortar for installation, as it will stain the stone. Use strictly white, rapid-setting translucent adhesives or mechanical fixing systems for backlit walls.
Manutenzione: This is a Mohs 3 stone (similar to a seashell). It reacts instantly to acids. It is strictly for decorative or low-wear vertical applications, not for chopping vegetables.
