TIGER ONYX
The Golden Symphony of Nature’s Luxury.
The Exotic Beauty of Tiger Onyx
Tiger Onyx is one of the most captivating natural stones on Earth — a true masterpiece of geological artistry. Quarried from the mountainous regions of Turkey, this onyx variety is celebrated for its extraordinary golden, amber, and honey-brown tones intertwined with veins of white, beige, and caramel. Its name, inspired by the majestic tiger, perfectly captures its bold and energetic character.
Formed through thousands of years of mineral crystallization, Tiger Onyx combines the transparency of onyx with the power of marble-like durability. The natural translucence allows light to pass through, creating mesmerizing backlit effects that elevate any architectural or interior design concept to the level of art.
