The Micronesia Takatik Eastern Black mosaic showcases one of the most dramatically dark natural marbles available — a stone with a deep charcoal-to-jet-black base punctuated by delicate silver veining, sourced from select quarries in Asia and prized for its density and refined grain.

What sets this mosaic apart is its sophisticated combination of polished and honed finishes arranged within the same Takatik geometric pattern: polished chips deliver a mirror-like sheen that intensifies the stone's dark depth, while honed chips offer a velvety matte softness — together creating a subtle surface texture and a visually rich, light-dynamic effect. The mesh backing ensures each sheet installs quickly and uniformly, with chip spacing maintained perfectly throughout.

Ideal for feature walls, shower surrounds, kitchen backsplashes, and luxury accent applications, this mosaic is best suited for indoor wall use; if used in wet floor areas, additional anti-slip measures and sealing are strongly recommended. Because natural black marble can vary in undertone and veining from lot to lot, ordering a sample before committing to a full project quantity is highly advised.

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: Eastern Black marble should be sealed with a penetrating stone sealer prior to grouting and installation. In wet areas such as showers, reseal every 6–12 months to prevent moisture infiltration and staining. While dark marble shows fewer water spots than light stones, consistent sealing preserves the stone's integrity and finish over time.

Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft, non-abrasive cloth or mop. Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, citrus-based products), bleach, or harsh alkaline solutions — acids will etch the polished surface and dull its mirror-like sheen. Wipe spills promptly, especially oils or colored liquids, as marble is porous despite its dark appearance.

Installation: Use white or light gray polymer-modified thinset mortar for best adhesion and to avoid any bleed-through color affecting translucent areas of the stone. Non-sanded grout is recommended for the tight joints typical of mosaic chip installations. Align mesh sheets carefully, checking pattern continuity across sheet seams before setting. Back-butter individual sheets when installing on vertical surfaces to ensure full coverage and prevent voids.

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
Samples are just $7.99 each with free shipping, and they ship in 1–3 business days. Sizes vary by material and availability, typically ranging from 3"×3" up to 8"×8". Exact dimensions aren't guaranteed, but every sample is cut from the same material you'll receive in a full order.

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.

Good to Know

  • Samples are final sale — non-returnable and non-refundable.
  • Ordering a sample before a full purchase is always recommended, especially for natural stone.
