About Nero Marquina Marble

Material Education

Nero Marquina is the world's most famous black marble, classically quarried in the Basque region of northern Spain. It's prized for its deep, near-black background dramatically cut through with crisp white veining — a high-contrast, sophisticated look that has been a benchmark of luxury stone for centuries.

What is a tumbled finish? Tumbling rolls the tiles with abrasives to soften and round the edges and corners and give the surface a matte, slightly textured, weathered look. On Nero Marquina, the tumbled finish softens the black to a more muted, antiqued charcoal tone and adds a rustic, old-world character — along with natural slip resistance underfoot. It also hides etching far better than a polished black surface, which shows every mark.

Honed vs polished: The honed finish is a smooth matte surface that softens glare, hides etching and water spots, and offers more slip resistance underfoot — a versatile choice for both floors and walls. A polished finish, by contrast, is glossy and reflective, intensifying the veining contrast but showing etching more readily.

Design & Inspiration

Nero Marquina's dramatic black-and-white palette is a designer staple — it pairs strikingly with white marble, brass and gold fixtures, warm wood, and bold contrast for everything from Art Deco glamour to modern, moody interiors. The tumbled texture tempers the drama with an aged, rustic softness, making the black feel warm rather than stark.

The 12×12 size is a timeless, versatile format that works beautifully as a floor, shower wall, kitchen or bathroom backsplash, or accent surface. Set in a straight grid or on a diagonal, the tumbled 12×12 brings instant character and a high-contrast focal point, and the format suits both walls and floors.

Popular design combinations: pair the tumbled 12×12 with white marble field tile for a high-contrast floor, or use it as a dramatic backsplash against brass fixtures. Explore the full Nero Marquina collection for coordinating sizes, and browse more marble tile for complementary looks.

Nero Marquina is the world's most celebrated black marble — a deep, near-black stone with crisp white veining, classically quarried in Spain. It's a high-contrast, sophisticated choice that has defined luxury interiors for generations.

This 12×12 tile features a tumbled finish — the edges and surface are softened and lightly textured for an aged, antiqued look with natural slip resistance. The tumbling mutes the black to a warmer charcoal tone and hides etching far better than a polished surface, making it a characterful, practical choice for floors, walls, and backsplashes.

Ideal for floors, shower and bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, and dramatic accent surfaces. The tumbled texture and classic 12×12 format bring high-contrast character to any space.

Shipping Cost: This is a full-size tile, which ships at standard freight rates calculated at checkout based on quantity and destination. Free shipping is not available on tile or porcelain orders — it applies only to qualifying mosaic and molding orders.

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: Standard shipping fees apply to all tile and porcelain orders. Additional charges may apply for delivery to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses.

Sealing: Seal natural marble with a penetrating stone sealer before and after installation, and re-seal periodically in kitchens and wet areas. Tumbled stone has a slightly more open, textured surface, so a good sealer is especially important — and on black marble, a sealer also helps deepen and protect the rich dark color.

Cleaning: Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner only. Avoid acidic cleaners, bleach, vinegar, and ammonia-based products — these etch marble and dull the surface. The tumbled matte texture hides wear and water spots well and is forgiving in everyday use, but still requires acid-free care.

Installation: Tumbled tiles have soft, slightly irregular edges, so they're typically set with a wider grout joint that suits the rustic look. Choose a grout color that complements the black — charcoal or dark gray for a seamless look, or a contrasting tone to highlight the pattern. Dry-lay a section first to blend the veining across the layout.

Important: Inspect all tile before installation. Variations in color, veining, and texture between pieces are natural characteristics of genuine marble — 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.

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.
