Unfortunately the Onyx is not practicable for a kitchen countertop although this stone is indeed extremely beautiful. Take note that the picture featured on this page (ID: 1015) is with the stone illuminated from the back because it's a naturally translucent material. There are numerous granite colors with red highlights in them. I've created a Comparison Chart for you to compare side-by-side a few of them that I think could complement your design nicely:

I have never seen anything so beautiful and am amazed. I am looking for a backsplash for my kitchen which has white appliances and the cabinets are maple with a honey finish. I do have some red accessories in the kitchen and red mini blinds. Red is my favorite color and if this were granite I would be tempted to use it on my counter. Please advise what type and color of counter top I should use.
Marble.com - Kinga 07:57PM, Dec 19 2011 To truly showcase a stunning backsplash like this, I would recommend a plain countertop like a white Nano Crystallized Glassos.
Marble.com - Derek 07:53PM, Dec 15 2011 Just to clarify and provide more information, the ID 1015 is the Onice backlit in the picture, the ID 1014 is not backlit, but the same stone. Since this color is very rich and has interesting veining, the granite should be subtle and soft. My suggestions are colors such as Giallo Ornamental C, Astoria, Sunset Ivory. You can use a dark cherry or mahogany wood, and a natural travertine floor, or something similar. Hope this helps!

I love onice tanzania light ID# 1015. But want a granite countertop. If I use the 1015 for the backsplash what color granite countertop will look excellant with it? What color cabinets? what color wood floor? I would backlight the backsplash. Small kitchen no island.
Marble.com - Kinga 04:27PM, Nov 28 2011 Onyx bar tops are stunning and one of a kind. If you are looking for something unique, onyx is definitely the way to go!
Marble.com - Derek 07:11PM, Nov 23 2011 Yes, Onyx can be used for a bar top. Lighting it up from the bottom will create a beautiful translucent, illuminating effect.
Molly 04:05PM, Nov 20 2011 can it be used on bar counter tops
Marble.com - Kinga 01:28PM, Aug 11 2011 Actually a friend of mine did her entire shower walls, tub surround, floor and vanity top in a combination of two onyx colors. It’s a showstopper, absolutely stunning! So to answer your question, yes onyx can be used for shower walls.
Marble.com - Derek 01:02PM, Aug 11 2011 Absolutely. Onyx walls would look truly breath taking.

Lili Delalat 11:45PM, Jul 10 2010 Can this piece be used for a kitchen Island?
