Nero Marquina
A striking black Spanish limestone with bold white veining
Nero Marquina forms from black, fossil-rich limestone laid down on an ancient seabed, its dark colour coming from organic carbon mixed into the calcium carbonate as it settled – the same basic process, over a much longer timescale, that gives coal its colour.
Over time, mineral-rich water moving through natural fractures in the rock deposited the bright white calcite veins that give Nero Marquina its striking, graphic contrast – available in varying densities from fine and sparse to bold and heavily veined.

Stone to last
a lifetime
As a natural stone, this marble is porous and should be sealed on installation, with re-sealing roughly every 12-18 months to guard against staining. Wipe up spills promptly - acidic liquids such as wine, citrus juice and vinegar can etch and dull the polished surface - and always clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner rather than bleach, ammonia or other acidic or abrasive products. Use a chopping board and trivets to protect against scratches and heat marks. With correct care, marble develops a genuine natural patina and remains a beautiful, long-lasting surface for generations.
