Hi Paul :)

Outstanding job! Considering the time frames that you were given to work, even better! Did you ever come up with a name for this onyx? It looks like it might be Onyx Red. Just something to add to your notes and procedure (mine too).

Hi Jaren, Welcome! :)

Nice try! 8-) 8-)

I think Paul's onyx has a lot more red/orange in it. ;)

Could be, but most of the onyx we have vary wildly from block to block, with the exception of White Onyx. I had seen a block here about 2 years ago that was uncharacteristically red/orang in coloration. Then the next one right after it was a pale yellow.

I've seen it called "Alabastrino Egiziano" quarried in Egypt.

Jaren, its funny you say 2 years ago you saw that block that was reddish...because this job was installed about 2 years ago. Maybe same quarry?
