11 x 11.75 Green Onyx Penny Round – Natural Stone Polished Mosaic Tile

Product Overview Infuse your space with the ethereal, jewel-like beauty of Green Onyx. This 11 x 11.75-inch mosaic features classic penny round tiles crafted from genuine, semi-precious Onyx. Known for its remarkable translucency and vibrant layers of mint, jade, and forest green, Green Onyx creates a sense of depth that few other natural stones can match. The soft, circular geometry of the penny rounds balances the bold, organic movement of the stone, making it a spectacular choice for those looking to create a high-end, spa-like sanctuary.

Key Features & Benefits

• Luminous Translucency: Onyx is a unique stone that allows light to penetrate its surface. When used on walls, it creates a glowing, "lit-from-within" effect that enhances the ambiance of the room.

• Exotic Color Palette: Features a stunning range of natural greens, accented by occasional veining in white, honey, or amber tones.

• Natural Slip Resistance: The small 1-inch penny rounds create a dense network of grout lines, providing excellent grip underfoot for wet areas.

• Artisanal Polished Finish: The high-gloss surface brings out the rich mineral colors and provides a smooth, glass-like touch.

• Flexible Mesh Mounting: The 11 x 11.75-inch sheets are easily cut or wrapped around curved surfaces like shower benches, niches, or columns.

• Sealing is Critical: As a porous natural stone, it must be sealed with a high-quality impregnating sealer before and after grouting to prevent staining and moisture absorption.

• Use White Thin-set: Because Onyx is translucent, always use white thin-set mortar. Darker adhesives can shadow through the stone and dull the green color.

• Gentle Cleaning: Use only pH-neutral cleaners formulated for natural stone. Avoid vinegar, bleach, or any acidic bathroom cleaners, as they will etch and dull the stone.

• Microfiber Only: Wipe with a soft microfiber cloth to prevent micro-scratches on the polished surface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Can this be used on a shower floor? A: Yes, it is highly popular for shower pans. The grout lines provide the necessary traction for safety, while the stone creates a luxurious, earthy feel underfoot.

• Q: Is every sheet the same shade of green? A: No. Green Onyx is a natural product with high variation. Expect some sheets to be lighter (minty) and others to be darker (emerald). We recommend "dry-laying" your sheets before installation to ensure a pleasing color blend.

• Q: Can I back-light this mosaic? A: While possible on wall applications, it is more common with large slabs. For mosaics, the mesh backing and thin-set can block light, but the stone will still catch and glow from ambient surface light.

• Q: Does it scratch easily? A: Onyx is a softer stone (similar to marble). It is perfect for walls and residential bathroom floors, but it is not recommended for high-traffic commercial entryways.
