Deep black Spanish marble with sharp white veining. One of the highest-contrast stones there is, best used as a statement piece.
Nero Marquina is a deep black Spanish marble crossed by sharp, irregular white veining. It is one of the highest-contrast stones used for countertops, and there is no quiet way to use it, which is why designers choose it when they want a room to have one strong focal point.
It works best as a counterpoint rather than a whole scheme: a black island against pale perimeter counters, a powder room vanity, a bar top, or a fireplace surround seen from across the room. Our guide to fall stone trends covers how dark stone is being used this year.
Nero Marquina is marble, so acids etch it, and on a polished black surface an etch shows as a pale, cloudy mark. A honed finish is the safer choice for anything that sees daily use. Seal it at installation and test it about once a year.
Like all dark stone, it shows fingerprints, dust and water spots more readily than pale material. That is worth knowing before it goes on a kitchen island. See living with marble countertops.
Every top is templated, laid out and cut in our Bridgeport shop and installed by our own crew. We photograph your slab, place the template over the photo, and you approve where the veins and seams fall before anything is cut. Installation is usually one to two weeks after templating. See how a project runs and our edge profiles.
Natural stone changes from slab to slab, even within one name. Come to our Bridgeport yard, choose the actual slabs for your job, and approve the layout before we cut.
