About Nero Marquina Marble Honed Tile

Material Education

Nero Marquina is a striking black marble quarried in the Basque region of Europe, celebrated worldwide for its deep, uniform jet-black body threaded with brilliant white calcite veins. The stone's dense, fine-grained structure gives it a sophisticated opacity rarely found in other natural marbles, while its white veining creates a bold graphic contrast that anchors any interior. When honed to a matte finish, the surface takes on a velvety, luxurious quality that emphasizes the stone's natural depth.

As with all natural stone, each tile carries its own unique pattern of veining and subtle tonal shifts — these are the authentic signatures of genuine marble, not imperfections, and contribute to the one-of-a-kind character of an installed surface.

About this tile: This 12×12 honed field tile offers a classic square format that lays easily in a straight-set or offset grid pattern, delivering broad expanses of rich black stone with minimal grout interruption — ideal for flooring, feature walls, and large-scale applications.

Design & Inspiration

Nero Marquina's bold black-and-white palette pairs beautifully with polished chrome, brushed gold, and warm white oak, and sits equally at home in minimalist modern, Art Deco, and dramatic transitional interiors. Its deep black ground serves as a powerful anchor color, allowing lighter surroundings — crisp white cabinetry, pale plaster walls, or bright Thassos accents — to truly pop.

The 12×12 format is a proven workhorse for bathroom floors, shower walls, and statement entryways, where the large field minimizes grout lines and lets the stone's dramatic veining read as an unbroken canvas. The honed finish is especially well-suited to floors, providing a matte surface with lower reflectivity and slightly better slip resistance than a polished alternative.

Popular design combinations: pair Nero Marquina 12×12 honed floor tiles with a Thassos White polished pencil liner border and matte black fixtures for a timeless luxury bathroom. Explore the full Nero Marquina collection for coordinating sizes, and browse more marble tile for complementary looks.

Secure Packaging

Nero Marquina is one of the world's most iconic black marbles, sourced from Europe and defined by its rich jet-black body dramatically laced with bright white calcite veining. The 12×12 format showcases the stone's bold graphic character across broad, uninterrupted fields — perfect for making a confident design statement.

Finished to a smooth, non-reflective hone, each tile offers a velvety matte surface that softens the stone's intensity while preserving its depth and natural beauty. This finish is exceptionally practical for floor applications, as it minimizes fingerprints, water spots, and surface glare compared to a high-polish finish.

Nero Marquina 12×12 honed tiles are ideal for bathroom floors, wet room walls, fireplace surrounds, and dramatic entryway flooring — any space that benefits from bold, sophisticated contrast. Because black marble can reveal efflorescence or light-colored residue during installation, we recommend using a dark-pigmented thinset and grout, and ordering a sample before committing to a full project.

Free Shipping: This product ships at standard freight rates calculated at checkout based on your location and order size.

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 re-sealed every 12–18 months in wet areas such as showers and bathroom floors. Although dark marble is less prone to visible staining than white stones, unsealed honed surfaces can absorb oils and cleaning product residues that are difficult to remove.

Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth or mop. Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, citrus-based), bleach, and abrasive scrubbers — acids will etch the honed surface, dulling its finish and potentially revealing lighter patches in the stone. Wipe spills promptly, especially oils and colored liquids.

Installation: Use a gray or charcoal-pigmented polymer-modified thinset to prevent light bleed-through at the joints. Back-butter each tile in addition to combing the substrate to ensure full coverage and prevent hollow spots, especially on floors. Allow adequate cure time before grouting, and select a dark unsanded or sanded grout (depending on joint width) that complements the stone's black body.

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.

Ordering a sample before a full purchase is always recommended, especially for natural stone.
