Colour range sampled from the slab
Nero Marquina — also known as Black Marquina — is a striking natural stone with an air of elegance and sophistication. Its deep black colour and dramatic white veins bring a luxurious touch to any space and create a bold contrast. It is a popular choice for both classic and contemporary schemes.
The defining feature of Nero Marquina is its rich black ground. That dense black tone gives the stone a confident presence that draws the eye immediately, and forms a solid base for creating a timeless, sophisticated atmosphere across a wide range of applications.
What sets Nero Marquina apart are the distinct white veins that travel across the black surface. They vary in thickness and intensity, from fine and delicate to broad and emphatic, forming intricate patterns that make every slab unique.
Nero Marquina is generally used indoors — flooring, wall cladding, worktops and decorative details. Its smooth, polished surface lends a space a sophisticated look and a timeless elegance. Its quality and visual appeal have made it a favourite among architects and interior designers.
Care note
Marble is sensitive to acids (lemon, vinegar, wine, limescale remover). Use a neutral pH cleaner, wipe up spills at once and impregnate every 1–2 years.
