Onyx, a semiprecious stone is carefully hollowed out, carved into a bowl shape from a single piece of natural stone. Care is taken to retain the organic shape, the jagged edges, and finely grained, translucent or cloudy gradients. The end product is a bowl that shows the mineral matrix and is almost unexpectedly diaphanous in places.
Onyx is a banded quartz of silicate mineral which has parallel bands, thanks to the growth of silica crystals. The alternating bands in white, dove grey, tan and browns is a testament to the age of the stone and the geological pressures on it. Most of our onyx is mined in Brazil, India, and Mexico and completely hand-cut by artisans.
