Amber Onyx


And now for something completely different. If you want your house to really stand out from the crowd, contact me about using some Amber Onyx. This exotic material takes about 7 million years to make and is ready now in slabs for use as a countertop, shelf, tub surround wall or sculpture. It is used like granite, but is translucent. With simple rope lighting diffused by a thin sheet of plexiglass, the amber onyx glows an eerie glow unlike any other material. I personally have a small sculpture that I have lit in my office. I have seen boulders used as driveway markers lit from the inside with bulbs. Check out the website http://www.amberonyx.com/ for more information. But contact me if you want to get some.
