Bring the beauty and drama of backlit natural stone to your project. At StonePly Translucent, we take natural stone; marble, onyx, quartz and bond it to glass. We slice and polish it with diamond tools until it is thin. At less than a quarter inch thick, the stone becomes translucent. When backlit, the breathtaking depth of the stone is revealed.

Here are 15 backlit stone to show you the light:

Bookmatched Onyx

Book matching stone involves slicing a slab into two and then opening it up, like a book, to create two panels that mirror one another.

Onyx Breccia with Ammonite Fossil

Made from golden onyx. The voids are filled with a resin matrix and then the stone is sliced thin and polished.

Honey Onyx

Onyx is made up of translucent calcite crystals and is formed in caves, much like stalactites. The bands are formed as the mineral deposits grow over thousands of years.

Agate Agglomerate Stone

The panel shows the interior crystals and banding of the geode and agate. To create this panel, geodes are embedded in a resin matrix and then sliced into slabs bonded to a glass backing.

Agate Geode Stone

Crystals and geodes form a fascinating backlit stone that allows you to peer into the hidden beauty of the stone. The stone is an agglomerate of geodes and crystals.

Jade Green

The green color is from the mineral serpentine. Treasured for it beautiful green color, serpentine is formed from magnesium rich rocks. The Romans named the stone for its resemblance to a snake’s skin and its supposed ability to cure venomous snakebites.

Smoky Quartz

Pink Rose Quartz

White Marble with Blue Lighting

By changing the color of the backlighting, you can change the appearance of the marble.

White Onyx

Onyx is one of the more translucent of stones and backlights well. Illuminated onyx is great for furniture, feature walls, bar tops and fronts and custom light fixtures.

White Quartz Stone with Ammonite fossil

Ammonites were ancient sea creatures similar to the chambered nautilus. Over time, the voids in the shells filled with minerals that formed transparent crystals. Since they are a product of nature, all panels are unique.

Golden Tesserae

Suspended in a dark gray matrix create an effect similar to stained glass.

Translucent Pebbles in a grey resin matrix.

Rose Onyx

Lighting StonePly

It’s important to consider the application, translucency of the stone and  available space when designing a backlit stone surface. In most cases, Translucent Stoneply works with LED lights. They offer a long life, little or no heat and a compact size.

White Carrara marble from StonePly will work beautifully for your project.

White Carrara Marble

White Carrara Marble is one of the specific stone color choices we offer for use in a number of applications for commercial projects, including everything from airplanes and yachts to retail stores and restaurants to hotels and casinos. To help you decide on a specific stone color choice, we will be featuring a number of articles that describe some of the many stone choices available.

All about White Carrara Marble

As its name implies, white Carrara marble is white, but it can also appear blue-gray in color because of the veins that run through the marble. The name comes from a city in the Tuscany region of Italy called Carrara where it is quarried.

White Carrara marble has been used since Roman times as a preferred natural stone for its beauty. The marble was commonly used for numerous structures throughout the Roman Empire. Many famous buildings made with this type of marble include the Pantheon and Trajan’s Column. The material has also been used for well-known statues like Michelangelo’s David.  Since ancient Rome, other famous buildings around the world have incorporated White Carrara marble. These include Marble Arch in London, the Manila Cathedral in the Philippines, Harvard Medical School in Boston, the Oslo Opera House in Norway and the Peace Monument in Washington, D.C. just to name a few.

Applications for White Carrara Marble

Today, this natural stone color choice is a popular selection for building cladding as well as for use in commercial and residential bathrooms and kitchens. This marble choice is also being used for fireplace surrounds, flooring, walls and signage. It offers a pristine and clean look wherever it is used, including indoor and outdoor applications.

Using StonePly’s White Carrara Marble

While you could opt for a supplier that offers natural stone like White Carrara marble, there are many reasons to partner with StonePly.

The primary reason is that StonePly offers an innovative solution that has the look and feel of white Carrara marble but weighs up to 80% less. We use a thin sheet of natural White Carrara marble that is then attached to a lightweight backing with an industrial adhesive, the same adhesive that is used on jet planes. This produces strong, durable, and flexible materials that can be used just about anywhere and deliver beauty for years to come.  Plus, the White Carrara marble is virtually maintenance free.

To further customize the White Carrara marble, you can order custom fabricated edges or add other details. StonePly’s years of experience and modern production methods enable quick, quality production for your application, keeping your project on time and on budget.  An additional benefit to the lightweight quality of StonePly materials is that it makes them easier to transport and install, reducing labor costs and the impact on the environment.
