Quaker Bluff Residence
What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by John Hill to I'm Ready for My Close-Up: Beautiful Building Materials
We start with one of the most well documented projects on Houzz — the Quaker Bluff Residence in Vermont — and a backlit stone wall. The effect is certainly dramatic, but it is not something that can pulled off with any stone. For light to transmit through some stones — marble, for example — the material has to be cut so thin it loses its capacity to support itself. Onyx, on the other hand, is ideal for such an application, yielding its unique yellow-orange glow.
added by Natalie Myers to Great Material: Illuminated Onyx
Designers have been using backlit onyx for some time to create a high-end contemporary look in commercial applications, especially in the hospitality industry. After seeing it used with reception desks in lobbies and incorporated into bathroom sinks and vanities throughout hotels and other commercial spaces, clients have taken note and started to request similar applications in residential projects.

Excellent idea of having backlit island wall / stone used is 3-5 mm Onyx stone ..0nly onyx can withstand this thin size. And light can actually pass through it.. wet BAr in basement.
