The dramatic contrast of dark tones against a snowy white backdrop has made Nero Marquina Marble a timeless choice for centuries. Its name derives from the town of Marquina, located in the province of Navarre, Spain, where it is extracted from. It has gained worldwide recognition for its black colouring and remains a popular choice among designers and architects alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our stones, care instructions, and the purchase process.
Other than resealing, we recommend using ordinary surface protectors such as coasters and placemats where possible. When cooking, always use a cutting board, especially when dealing with acidic foods such as lemons that may discolour the stone. If there are spills on the stone, make sure to clean them in a timely manner.
Etching is the erosion damage that occurs when the natural stone comes into contact with acidic substances including citrus, wine, tomatoes, alcohol and some types of juice. Staining refers to the discolouration of stone when a pigmented substance is absorbed and trapped beneath the surface.
The three most popular finish options in our warehouse are; polished, honed (matte), and leathered. We receive the slabs pre-finished from the quarries, and it is up to the client if they would like their fabricator to refinish their purchased slab.
“Bookmatched” slabs describe the mirroring effect that occurs when two adjoined pieces of stone have reversed patterns. The term refers to its likeness to an opened book.
