Vanilla Sage vein-cut onyx slab polished at 62 by 114 inches lifted on the crane at Royal Stone Los Angeles, translucent cream and pale celadon stratified body

Vanilla Sage is the quiet end of the onyx family — a translucent cream-to-pale-celadon body cut against the natural bedding so the slab reads as long horizontal stratification rather than concentric drift. Vein-cut onyx is the architectural cut: orderly, calm, and well suited to anything that will be lit from behind.

The polish is what makes onyx onyx — depth, translucency, and a wet read on the pale green-cream banding.
From the slab arrival, 2024

Polished. The polish is what makes onyx onyx — depth, translucency, and a wet read on the pale green-cream banding. Cut at 2cm and measuring 62" × 114", this slab is sized for a single backlit panel, a bar front, a powder bath wall, or a fireplace surround on a wood frame. Onyx is structurally softer than marble and quartzite — it belongs on vertical surfaces and decorative horizontals, not on a daily-use kitchen island.

Walk it in person and put a flashlight to the back of the slab — that is the only way to read onyx properly. On the floor in Los Angeles.
