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.

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.

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.
