Honey Onyx wave-cut slab polished at 87 by 54 inches at Royal Stone Los Angeles, translucent honey and rose body with broad diagonal banding

Wave-cut is the diagonal cut against an onyx block — neither true cross-cut nor true vein-cut, but a third read that picks up the bedding as long sweeping curves rather than straight horizontal bands or concentric pools. This Honey Onyx is a clean example: a translucent honey-and-rose body with broad diagonal banding that sweeps from top-left to bottom-right across the slab.

The polish is what brings the honey body to life — depth, translucency, and a wet read on the rose-and-cream banding.
From the slab arrival, 2024

Polished. The polish is what brings the honey body to life — depth, translucency, and a wet read on the rose-and-cream banding. Cut at 2cm and measuring 87" × 54", the slab is a wall format — a single backlit feature panel, a tub-surround front, a fireplace face, a vanity back, or a powder room wrapped on a single elevation.

Honey Onyx is the warm onyx — at its best in rooms that already lean warm (plaster, unlacquered brass, oiled walnut). It is structurally soft and asks for vertical or light-use horizontal application. On the floor in Los Angeles.
