White Calcutta Marble 

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.

Types Of Rocks

All rocks fit into three categories: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.

An igneous rock is made from cooling magnum and causes minerals to crystallize. The type of igneous stone is decided by the texture and composition of the stone. Depending on how fast the magma cools will determine how large the crystals become. Generally, the slower the magma cools the larger the crystals become in the stone. The size of the crystals are known as texture. The composition of the stone is referred to as the amount and type of minerals found in the stone. The most common types of igneous stones formed are granite, basalt, and obsidian.

A sedimentary rock is formed from igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock particles compacted by pressure and cemented together by acid rain. Most of the Earth’s crust is made up of sedimentary rock. Fossil marks are often found in sedimentary stones. The most common sedimentary stones formed are limestone, travertine, and sandstone.

A metamorphic rock gets its name from “meta” meaning change and “morph” meaning form. A metamorphic rock is produced by an increased amount of heat, pressure, or fluids in the Earth’s crust. The most common metamorphic stones formed are marble, slate, gneiss, and onyx.
