About Nero Marquina Marble 1×2 Herringbone Polished Mosaic

Material Education

Nero Marquina is a striking black marble quarried in the Basque region of Europe, prized for its deep, uniform jet-black base dramatically veined with bright white calcite. Its dense composition gives it a lustrous, glass-like surface when polished, making it one of the most visually commanding natural stones available. The contrast between the rich black field and crisp white veining creates an effect that is simultaneously bold and refined.

As a product of nature, each tile will display its own unique arrangement of veining and subtle tonal shifts — this natural variation is the hallmark of authentic stone and ensures no two installations are ever identical.

About this mosaic: Small 1×2 inch rectangles are pre-arranged in a classic herringbone pattern on a mesh-backed sheet, allowing for fast, precise installation without individually setting each piece. Each sheet covers approximately one square foot, dramatically reducing layout time on backsplashes, accent walls, and shower niches.

Design & Inspiration

Nero Marquina's bold black palette pairs beautifully with brushed brass or matte gold fixtures, white Carrara marble countertops, and warm white oak cabinetry for a high-contrast, jewel-box aesthetic. It is equally at home in sleek contemporary kitchens, dramatic Art Deco bathrooms, and moody transitional spa retreats.

The 1×2 herringbone format adds a layer of geometric energy and movement to any surface, drawing the eye across the installation in a dynamic zigzag rhythm that elevates even small accent areas. On a shower niche or kitchen backsplash, the polished finish amplifies light and depth, making dark spaces feel rich rather than heavy.

Popular design combinations: Nero Marquina herringbone backsplash paired with Calacatta Gold quartz countertops, brushed brass faucets, and flat-front white shaker cabinets for a luxurious monochrome-contrast kitchen.

Premium Natural Stone

Secure Packaging

Nero Marquina is one of the world's most celebrated black marbles, defined by its intensely dark background and vivid white veining that together produce a look of effortless drama and sophistication. Quarried in Europe, this dense natural stone has been a designer favorite for centuries, appearing in luxury hotels, high-end residential projects, and iconic architectural interiors around the globe.

This mosaic features 1×2 inch polished chips arranged in a herringbone pattern on a mesh backing, delivering a sophisticated geometric movement that transforms ordinary surfaces into focal points. The high-polish finish brings out the deep luster of the black marble and sharpens the contrast of the white veining, while the mesh backing keeps each chip perfectly aligned for a faster, cleaner installation.

Ideal for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom feature walls, shower niches, and fireplace surrounds where a bold statement is desired. This product is a clearance item — available in limited quantity — so ordering a sample first is strongly recommended to confirm color and variation match your project before purchasing full quantities.

Free Shipping: As a mosaic, this product qualifies for free curbside shipping on orders over $1,999 within the continental U.S. Orders below that threshold ship at standard rates calculated at checkout.

Processing & Delivery: Orders are processed within 2–3 business days. Large orders ship via LTL freight — curbside delivery only. An adult must be present to sign for delivery. Estimated transit: 2–10 business days after shipment.

30-Day Returns: Uninstalled tile may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Inspect all tile carefully before installation — installed tile cannot be returned or exchanged. Samples are final sale.

Exclusions: Free shipping does not apply to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses. Additional charges may apply for remote delivery areas.

Sealing: Nero Marquina marble should be sealed with a penetrating impregnating sealer before grouting and immediately after installation. In wet areas such as showers or backsplashes near cooking surfaces, reapply sealer every 12 months to protect against moisture infiltration and staining. Despite its dark color masking some stains visually, the stone is still porous and benefits greatly from consistent sealing.

Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner diluted in warm water and a soft microfiber cloth or mop. Never use acidic cleaners such as vinegar, lemon juice, or bleach-based products, as acids will etch and dull the polished surface permanently. The high-gloss polished finish is particularly susceptible to water spots and soap scum — wipe dry after each use in shower or wet environments to maintain the mirror-like sheen.

Installation: Use a white or light gray polymer-modified thinset mortar to prevent any dark bleed-through that could alter the appearance of the stone. For the small 1×2 chip joints in a herringbone mosaic layout, use non-sanded grout at a joint width of 1/16 to 1/8 inch. Align mesh sheets carefully before pressing into thinset to maintain consistent herringbone direction across the field; use a grout release or sealer on the stone surface prior to grouting to prevent dark grout from staining the polished marble face.

Important: Inspect all tile before installation. Variations in color, veining, and texture between pieces are natural characteristics of genuine stone — not defects. Order 10% overage for cuts, waste, and future repairs. Tile & Mosaic Depot specialists are available M–F 8:30AM–5PM PST at 855-797-8453.

Product & Installation Guidance

Natural stone is a product of the earth — every piece is one of a kind. A little planning ensures your finished installation looks its best and lasts for decades.

Natural Variation
Color, veining, texture, shade, movement, finish, and sizing vary from piece to piece. Product photos and samples are a general reference and may not match the exact material you receive. These variations are inherent characteristics of natural stone — they are part of its beauty, not defects.

Before You Install

Order roughly 10% extra to allow for cuts, waste, and future repairs.
Blend tiles from multiple boxes as you work to achieve the most natural, balanced appearance.
Dry-lay and inspect the full layout before setting a single tile.
Installation constitutes full acceptance of the product, so review everything carefully first.

Sealing & Care
Natural stone should be sealed with a quality penetrating sealer before and after installation, and re-sealed periodically in wet or high-traffic areas. Clean only with a pH-neutral stone cleaner; avoid acidic products, bleach, vinegar, and ammonia, which can permanently etch the surface. Outdoor installations may weather or change tone over time with exposure.

Responsibility
Tile & Mosaic Depot is not responsible for improper installation, labor costs, substrate conditions, product misuse, or damage from improper handling, sealing, maintenance, or harsh chemicals. No claims, returns, or replacements can be accepted on installed material.

California Proposition 65: Some natural stone products contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Order a Sample First

Seeing real stone in your own space — under your own light, beside your own finishes — is the best way to buy with confidence. We make it easy and affordable.

How It Works

What a Sample Shows
Samples help you evaluate the general color, texture, finish, and overall character of a product before committing to a full order. Because natural stone varies from piece to piece, your sample is representative — it may not capture the complete range of variation across an entire lot. For current lot photos, just ask our team.
