Onyx Herringbone Mosaics
Onyx herringbone mosaics are the most visually dramatic herringbone mosaic available in natural stone — the V-pattern of herringbone combined with onyx's translucent, jewel-like quality creates an effect that no marble, travertine, or porcelain herringbone can approach. Available in honey, green, and white onyx varieties in polished finish — for backlit installations, feature walls, shower niches, and luxury accent applications.
Why onyx herringbone is extraordinary
Onyx's natural translucency means that light interacts with an onyx herringbone mosaic differently from any other stone — at certain angles and under certain lighting, the chips appear to glow from within, the banding becomes luminous, and the herringbone pattern creates a rippling, water-like surface movement. Backlit with LED strip lighting, honey onyx herringbone becomes one of the most spectacular wall surfaces in contemporary interior design.
Available onyx varieties:
Honey Onyx
Warm amber and gold tones with natural banding — the most popular onyx herringbone. Spectacular when backlit. Polished finish only.
Green Onyx
Jade and sage-green tones — a rare and distinctive onyx herringbone for spa bathrooms and botanical-inspired interiors.
White Onyx
Soft white with subtle cream and gold banding — the most understated onyx herringbone for refined, luxury applications.
Available chip sizes:
1×2 Mini Herringbone
Small chips — intricate detail that showcases onyx banding at close range. Most popular for niches and accent features.
2×4 Standard Herringbone
Classic chip size — larger banding sections visible. More dramatic at distance for feature walls and backsplashes.
Best applications:
Backlit Feature Walls
Shower Niches
Vanity Backwalls
Bar Backdrops
Decorative Accents
Fireplace Surrounds
Important before ordering: Onyx is softer than marble — not suitable for high-traffic floors, shower floors, or heavy-use surfaces. The polished finish is required for maximum translucency in backlit applications. V4 variation — each piece has unique banding and color intensity. Order samples before purchasing — onyx herringbone must be evaluated in person to appreciate its translucent quality. Final sale on cut or installed onyx.
