Arizona Onyx: Natural Beauty, Artistically Unveiled

Arizona onyx is a stunning stone quarried at the International Stone Company onyx quarry in Mayer Arizona, and comes in two distinct color variations. Grand Canyon Onyx is comprised of rich earth tones and striations of deep reds. Black Canyon Onyx has similar coloring, but includes layers of black.
