Choosing A Coffee Table Constructed From Onyx
Due to the unique beauty of onyx, any coffee table in this material is best suited to being used as the focal point of your living room. In order to get the most out of the natural beauty possessed by your onyx table top it is advised to make use of lighting to draw out the distinctive translucent patches which onyx is famous for. The best way to do this with a coffee table is to position the table under chandelier lighting or to place led lights underneath the onyx. Any living room which has an onyx coffee table will benefit from having an item of luxury furniture which is not only beautiful but extremely intriguing.

What Is Onyx?
Onyx is one of most unique materials you will see used in luxury interior designs. You can often see onyx in luxury residential and commercial interiors where it is used for feature walls and for the table tops on luxury tables. Geologically onyx is a compact banded travertine composed of very fine-grained calcite. The most distinctive characteristic of onyx is how light can shine through translucent patches in the material and its agate-like bands. These agate-like bands form when ground water circulates through the onyx deposit and oxidises the stone.
Just like with travertine, onyx can be cross-cut or vein cut which leads to different appearance of the stone. Cross-cut means the onyx block is cut horizontally and vein-cut means the block i cut vertically along the vein (hence the name). When onyx is cut into slabs using the cross-cut technique you get circular type patterns across the surface. And when the vein-cut technique is used there is a more linear pattering flowing across the surface.
