White Onyx

White Onyx from Pakistan

White Onyx is a translucent banded calcite mineral formed by the slow precipitation of calcium-rich water in underground cavities. The result is a stone with exceptional whiteness, soft internal depth, and natural translucency that allows light to pass through thin slabs. Pakistani White Onyx ranges from pure snow-white to soft milky white, with faint veining in gold, honey, and pale grey that adds subtle warmth without disrupting the overall clean, luminous appearance. It is one of the most premium decorative stones in the global market, specified for the highest-end residential, hospitality, and commercial interiors.

Available Forms

• Backlit panels: slabs cut to 10-15 mm for maximum light transmission, with mesh backing
