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.

Why Order a Sample
A screen can't show you how Calacatta veining reads under your kitchen lights or how a porcelain finish sits next to your cabinet color. A sample can. It's the single best way to buy stone or porcelain tile with confidence — and the cheapest mistake you'll ever avoid.

How It Works
Samples are $7.99 each. Samples ship free and leave our warehouse within 1–3 business days. Sizes vary by material and availability — typically 3"×3" up to 8"×8" — and every sample is cut from the same material stocked for full orders.

What a Sample Shows
Color, texture, finish, and overall character. Because natural stone varies piece to piece, one sample represents the material but can't show the full range of a lot. Porcelain samples are highly representative of the production run. Want to see the current lot before you commit? Ask us — we'll send photos.

Good to Know

Samples are final sale — non-returnable and non-refundable.
We recommend sampling before every full order, especially for natural stone.

Talk to a Specialist
Our stone and tile specialists will help you narrow it down. Call (855) 797-8453 or email sales@tileandmosaicdepot.com, Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–5 PM PT.

How Your Order Ships
In-stock orders leave our warehouse within 2–3 business days. Stone, porcelain, and mosaic ship on a pallet via scheduled LTL freight and arrive 2–10 business days after dispatch, depending on destination. You'll get tracking and the carrier's name by email the day it ships.

Freight Delivery — What to Expect

The carrier calls you first. Every freight delivery is by appointment. Expect a call or text to set a window before the truck is dispatched.
Curbside delivery. The driver unloads to the curb or driveway. Freight does not include carrying material indoors or into a garage — plan for a helper or a hand truck.
Someone 18+ must sign. Inspect the pallet before signing. Note any damage, shortage, or broken shrink-wrap on the delivery receipt — this is what makes a claim valid.
Truck access. The address must be accessible to a full-size freight truck with enough space to unload.

Free Shipping
Free curbside freight on qualifying mosaic and molding orders over $1,999 in the continental U.S. Field tile, porcelain, and other product types ship at freight rates shown at checkout. Not available to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses.

Damage & Shortages
Report within 3 calendar days of delivery with photos of the pallet, packaging, and affected pieces to sales@tileandmosaicdepot.com. Verified claims are covered. Shortages of 1–5 pieces are refunded rather than reshipped — which is why we recommend ordering 10% overage.

30-Day Returns
Uninstalled tile in full, unopened boxes may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Return freight is paid by the customer. Partial boxes, opened boxes, installed material, and samples are final sale.

Questions Before You Order?
Call (855) 797-8453 or email sales@tileandmosaicdepot.com, Monday–Friday 8:30 AM–5 PM PT. If you're unsure about freight access at your address, ask us before checkout — we'll flag anything that could hold up delivery.

Natural Variation
Quarried stone varies in color, veining, shade, movement, and finish from piece to piece and from lot to lot. Screen photos and samples show the range, not the exact tile you'll receive. Variation is the nature of the material and is never grounds for return. Porcelain is far more consistent, but shade and pattern can still shift between production runs — buy your full quantity in one order.

Before You Install

Order 10% overage. Covers cuts, breakage, and spares for future repairs. Reorders may not match in tone or lot.
Inspect every piece before setting. Pull from all boxes, blend, and dry-lay the full area. Installation is acceptance — no claims are honored once tile is set.
Hire a qualified installer. Natural stone and large-format porcelain require experience with the material. Your installer is responsible for substrate, setting materials, and method.

Sealing & Care
Natural stone should be sealed with a penetrating sealer and re-sealed periodically in wet and high-traffic areas. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner only — vinegar, bleach, ammonia, and acidic cleaners etch marble, limestone, travertine, and onyx permanently. Porcelain does not require sealing. Outdoor stone weathers and shifts in tone over time; this is expected.

Responsibility
Tile & Mosaic Depot supplies material only. We are not responsible for installation, labor costs, substrate conditions, setting materials, product misuse, or damage from handling, sealing, maintenance, or chemicals. No claims, returns, or replacements are accepted on installed material.

California Proposition 65
Some natural stone and porcelain products contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Details at www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
