Green Onyx Vein Cut

Vein cut turns the layered structure of Green Onyx into a soft scalloped pattern of overlapping cellular shapes. The colour is pale sage and grey-green, and fine white seams trace the edge of every cell. The nearest thing to it is glass worn by the sea. The cut gives onyx an architectural composure. This is the onyx for a room that wants translucency and no colour. It sits in a scheme of pale plaster and oak without announcing itself, then changes entirely when the lights go on behind it. Lit from behind, the cell walls hold light differently from the cell centres and the whole scalloped structure comes forward as depth. A screen, a shower wall, a headboard: surfaces that stop being solid.
