Faux onyx panels were designed to imitate the natural stone onyx for its beauty and classic looks. Designers try to replicate genuine onyx using advanced techniques to produce veins and gradients to match the real thing. Such panels may also have gloss or matte finishes for some designs. Some of them may be designed to have backlighting features to increase the level of translucency. They can be tailored in shape and size, and the veins made more distinctive or traditional depending on the preferred style and theme, making them ideal for various interior design concepts.
