Origin
Origin, composition and appearance
Onyx Miel is a commercial supplier name. Its country and quarry may vary between shipments, so we verify the lot documentation and actual slab before stating a precise origin.
Its yellow or gold background shows translucent clouded bands. As with every natural stone, pattern density and shade vary from slab to slab.
Onyx
From quarry block to installed piece
This natural stone is not manufactured like a composite surface. It is quarried and then processed for the project.
- 1
Block extraction
Blocks are quarried and sorted for structure, colour and consistency.
- 2
Slab sawing
Blocks are sawn into slabs. Depending on the stone, drying, filling or resin reinforcement may be applied.
- 3
Surface finish
The surface is calibrated and receives a polished or honed finish for the required appearance and slip resistance.
- 4
Cutting and installation
The approved slab is cut to size, edge-finished, transported and installed with joints and treatments suited to the Marrakech project.
Strengths
- Rare translucency and decorative depth.
- Strong visual impact for cladding, niches, bars and backlit features.
- Every slab is a unique decorative piece.
Points to consider
- More fragile and impact-sensitive than granite.
- Sensitive to acids, scratches and thermal variation.
- Not recommended for busy floors or intensive worktops.

Recommended applications
Our advice before ordering
Always approve the actual slab. Two lots sold under the same name may differ in shade, veining, microfissures and porosity. We also confirm thickness, finish, treatment and intended use before quoting.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Onyx Miel suitable for a kitchen?
This is not our first choice for a heavily used worktop. We prefer it for the applications listed on this page.
Is Onyx Miel suitable outdoors?
We do not specify it outdoors by default. A more suitable stone will be proposed for the exposure and intended use.
How should Onyx Miel be maintained?
Use a soft cloth and neutral cleaner. Avoid acids, abrasives, impacts and high-traffic applications.
The stated properties are selection guidance. The lot data sheet and inspection of the actual slab take precedence.
