A Duramica Travertine Onyx sample chart shows nine narrow stone panels in cream, rust, red and gray, with varied natural veins.

Travertine onyx, striking with its colors and unique texture, is formed in thermal springs through layered deposition from carbonated waters saturated with calcium bicarbonate. This unique process embodies a symbiosis of travertine, marble, and onyx, creating a stunning combination known as Travertine Onyx. Despite its wide geographical distribution (as will be shown further), the global reserves of marble onyx are extremely insignificant.

Unique Properties and Applications of Travertine Onyx

Travertine onyx possesses special characteristics that allow it to be used in various areas of interior design and architecture. This stone is perfect for wall and floor cladding, making countertops, mosaics, fountains, pools, coping walls, stairs, window sills, and other designer projects.

Nature's Art in Your Home

The combination of soft and sensual onyx colors with contrasting translucent shades of travertine tile creates a unique image that captivates the eye. Stripes or lines of contrasting color running throughout the stone give it even more character and individuality.


This natural stone has beautiful translucent and contrasting colors. The soft and sensual shades of onyx look bold and beautiful, especially when illuminated or backlit to draw attention to its translucent qualities. You can choose from pastel shades such as golden honey, green, smoky gray tones, and dark amber.


Moreover, stripes or lines of contrasting color flowing throughout the stone give it unique characteristics. Like marble, onyx can be polished or honed, but it is worth noting that this stone is usually more expensive than other types of natural stone due to its rarity.

Art of Lighting and Backlighting (backlit stone)

Travertine onyx reveals a special allure when delicately illuminated or gently backlit, accentuating its translucent essence and instilling a distinct ambiance within the space. This effect is particularly enchanting when applied to backlit onyx, backlit stone wall, backlit onyx countertop, a captivating backlit onyx bar, or a luminous onyx backlit wall.
