Light Green Onyx
Description
Light Green Onyx from Pakistan is one of the most beautiful translucent stones in the world. Its pale, luminous green tones with natural white veining create a stone of extraordinary delicacy and visual sophistication.
When backlit, Light Green Onyx transforms into something truly magical. The light passes through the stone, illuminating the natural patterns and creating a warm glowing effect unlike any other material. This quality makes it one of the most sought-after onyx types for luxury applications.
Pakistan is the leading producer of green onyx and FB Marble exports Light Green Onyx to USA, UAE, UK, Germany and beyond. Available in custom sizes and thicknesses for any luxury interior or decorative application.
Origin & Technical Profile
Origin: Quarried in Pakistan and supplied by FB Marble from local quarries, so lead times and transport costs are lower than for imported stone. Pakistani green onyx is mined mainly in the Chagai district of Balochistan and is one of the country's best-known stone exports.
What the slab looks like: Pale and mint-green bands that glow evenly when lit from behind.

Practical note: The most translucent of our onyx colours — the best choice for backlit bar fronts, wall panels and light boxes. Use soft cloths and pH-neutral cleaner only; treat it as a feature surface rather than a working surface.
Technical figures are typical ranges for this type of stone, not lab results for one block. Every natural slab differs in colour and pattern, so please view the actual slab before it is cut.
