Onyx is a semi precious gemstone. It varies in rarity and price but is typically between $70 and $250/ft2. It is a parallel banded silicate material that is a variety of chalcedony. Onyx is typically black and white in color but has varieties that come in reds, greens, browns, pink and even clear. The meaning of Onyx is protection and fortune.
WHAT IS QUARTZITE?
Quartzite is a hard metamorphic rock. Originally pure quartz sandstone, it is transformed through great heat and pressure by tectonic compression within orogenic belts.
How is onyx and quartzite dynamic when backlit?
Each backlit translucent stone we offer varies greatly as the ambient light is diminished from day to night. In the daytime the luminosity is gentle and subtle. As the night progresses the colors become vastly more vibrant and reveal previously unseen details. Consider how a campfire changes as the sun sets.
Do I have to buy a light?
No, each piece contains a custom built LED panel integrated into a smart outlet. The wall is modified to hide the electronics making a seamless piece of art. The luminosity is controlled and scheduled from your phone.
How are the wall pieces mounted?
Each Onyx wall piece is hung using a french cleat system. Each piece has a v shaped back, included is a piece of steel which gets bolted to the wall. The support is set, and the Onyx is hung like a picture frame.
How are sculptures shipped?
Each sculpture is carefully crated and shipped freight. We will personally deliver when possible.
100% SATISFACTION GURANTEE.
We stand by our products 100%. If for whatever reason you are not satisfied with your sculpture simply send it back and we will issue a full refund. No restocking fee, no lengthy explanation needed. It is paramount to us that you love your purchase.
What does it cost to have an electrician add an outlet?
Costs on average range from $75-$200. This is very common practice as it is often needed for hiding electrical cords for TVs. The process typically takes 1 hr to complete.
do i need to have a contractor hang the lamp?
This depends on your comfort level. If you are ok with finding studs, using a level and driving a few bolts then this is certainly a project you can do yourself. We do suggest having three people present to hang. Two people to hold the sculpture (even if it is not too heavy for one person) and the third to make sure the cords get tucked back into the wall.
What if my sculpture gets damaged during transit?
We fully ensure each shipment. If damages were to occur we can either replace the piece entirely or reimburse a portion of the purchase.
What if a LeD goes out?
Our LEDs are rated to last 20 yrs. If a single LED were to go out it would be very unlikely to be noticeable. If for some reason a whole grid went out (very unlikely) we will cover the cost of an electrician to replace the LED strip. This coverage is up to 2 yrs from us.
