Tiger Onyx Tiles

Enhance the elegance of your space with our Tiger Onyx Tiles. Made from natural onyx stone, these tiles feature unique tiger-like patterns for a striking look. Add a touch of sophistication to any room and enjoy the durability and beauty of onyx.

Alteration refers to the process in which rocks and minerals are subjected to hydrothermal action to generate new physical and chemical conditions, so that the structure, structure and composition of the original rock are correspondingly changed to generate new mineral combinations. Reflected in Tiger Onyx tiles, the acidic igneous rocks located in the fractured zone are prone to lithological changes under the action of high temperature, resulting in chlorite, sodium zoisite, epidote, sericitization, carbonation, micro- In this process, tungsten, tin, beryllium, niobium, tantalum, porphyry copper, molybdenum, rare earth, etc. related to granite are often ore Therefore, this kind of stone increases a certain degree of radioactivity. Altered granite, in the granite plate, is often reflected in color lines, stains, etc. In most cases, due to the small effect of alteration and the low content of radioactive minerals, it does not actually affect the overall development and utilization of veneer stone.

03. Lithofacies and rock belts

Closely related to geological age and alteration, there are also issues of lithofacies and rock belts. Due to the different temperature and pressure conditions during the formation of Tiger Onyx tiles, the magmatic elements are also different. Therefore, in different phases of a rock mass, the grain size and color of the ore are often different, and the content of radioactive elements is naturally different. quite the same. Generally speaking, the content of transition radioactive elements is higher in rock mass, and lower in mesophase and marginal phase. This problem is more prominent in the larger stone mines in the south with multiple intrusion activities. In any case, it must be pointed out that the radioactive specific activities of the natural radionuclides radium, thorium and potassium in the vast majority of Tiger Onyx tiles products produced in China meet the requirements of Class A decoration materials, and only a few granite The product belongs to Class C decoration materials. Moreover, compared with other building materials, natural Tiger Onyx tiles generally has a relatively low radon precipitation rate because it is generally a dense block rock. Therefore, it has a very ideal use prospect when it is used as a decoration inside and outside the living room.
