Über Onyx Verde Pakistan Light

Pakistan Green Onyx (Onyx Verde Pakistan) is a calcitic onyx quarried in Dalbandin, Balochistan province, Pakistan. The stone is commercially offered in two main grades: Light (Onice Verde Chiaro) and Dark (Onice Verde Scuro). The light grade features a translucent green to pale green coloration; the dark grade has deeper, more saturated green tones. As a calcite onyx (sedimentary travertine-family stone), it is acid-sensitive, porous (WA 1.30%), and best suited for interior decorative applications where its translucency can be exploited for backlit panels. Technical data from SC (medium confidence): density 2730 kg/m³, compressive 139.32 MPa, flexural 9.05–11.0 MPa, WA 1.30%. No DNSA entry exists for Pakistani onyx.
