About Nero Marquina Black Marble Polished Field Tile

Material Education

Nero Marquina is a striking black marble quarried in the Basque region of Europe, prized for its deep, near-opaque black body threaded with bold white calcite veining. The contrast between the jet-black groundmass and the bright, irregular veins gives each tile a dramatic, graphic quality unlike any other natural stone. Its polished surface amplifies the stone's natural luster, producing a high-gloss mirror finish that intensifies both the depth of the black and the brilliance of the veins.

As a genuine natural marble, each tile will vary subtly in the density, width, and direction of veining — this organic variation is the hallmark of authentic Nero Marquina and ensures no two installations are ever identical.

About this tile: This 12×12 polished tile is a classic square field format, ideal for full-wall cladding, feature floors, and large-scale installations. The generous size minimizes grout joints and allows the stone's bold veining to flow uninterrupted across a surface.

Design & Inspiration

Nero Marquina's dramatic black-and-white palette pairs beautifully with brushed brass or matte gold fixtures, crisp white cabinetry, white oak millwork, and accents of polished chrome — suiting bold contemporary, Art Deco, and high-contrast transitional interiors. Its timeless graphic quality also integrates seamlessly into classic European-inspired spaces when paired with traditional moldings and marble trim.

The 12×12 square format is especially effective on bathroom floors and feature walls, where its scale creates a sense of grandeur without visual busyness. Laid in a straight-set grid, the large polished tiles produce a sleek, reflective plane that visually expands a room and adds a luxurious hotel-like atmosphere.

Popular design combinations: Nero Marquina floor tiles paired with Thassos White marble mosaic insets and brushed brass fixtures for a sophisticated monochromatic bathroom suite. Explore the full Nero Marquina collection for coordinating sizes, and browse more marble tile for complementary looks.

Nero Marquina is one of the world's most recognized black marbles, sourced from Europe and defined by its rich, pure black background dramatically accented with bold white calcite veins. This 12×12 field tile delivers the stone's full visual impact in a versatile square format suitable for floors, walls, and feature applications.

Each tile arrives with a high-gloss polished finish that enhances the depth of the black tones and sharpens the contrast of the white veining, creating a mirror-like surface with exceptional reflectivity. The 12×12 format installs efficiently with standard thinset in a straight-set or rotated pattern, and the consistent sizing ensures clean, tight joints throughout.

Nero Marquina 12×12 polished tiles are ideally suited for master bathroom floors, shower walls, kitchen backsplashes, and dramatic entryway floors where a bold statement is desired. Because polished marble is more susceptible to etching from acidic substances, sealing before use and regular maintenance are strongly recommended — ordering a sample first is advised to confirm the depth of color and vein character in your specific lighting.

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 stone sealer prior to installation and resealed every 6–12 months in wet areas such as showers or around kitchen sinks. Although dark marble is less prone to showing staining than white stones, the polished finish remains porous and benefits greatly from consistent sealing.

Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth — never use vinegar, lemon juice, bleach, or any acidic or alkaline cleaners, as they will etch and dull the polished surface. Wipe up spills immediately, especially acidic substances like wine, coffee, or citrus juice, to prevent surface etching that is difficult to reverse without professional re-polishing.

Installation: Use a white or light-gray polymer-modified thinset mortar to avoid any bleed-through that could lighten the dark stone. Back-butter each tile in addition to spreading thinset on the substrate for full coverage and a secure bond. Use unsanded or fine-sanded grout in a matching dark charcoal or black tone to preserve the seamless, dramatic look; maintain consistent 1/16″ to 1/8″ grout joints for a refined, tight appearance.

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.
