White Onyx Diffuser Tray

White onyx is a variety of chalcedony with parallel bands in it, and being a silicate material, it is related to agate. Onyx can be found with bands of almost any color, and the white varieties usually have beige, golden, brown or black veins, and bands with different levels of density. It is translucent, and placed at # 4 in the mohs scale, it is a rather delicate material, requiring specialized handling.

Used since antiquity in carvings, cameos, statues and floor coverings, Pliny the Elder describes various methods to dye it, including how to turn it completely black. 

We cut a custom tray as the perfect companion to display our Crystal Diffusers, with a custom drilling to hold and display the stone cap alongside it. The tray also serves to protect delicate surfaces at home from occasional or accidental spilling.
