Black marble countertops are dominated by one iconic variety: Nero Marquina, a jet-black base with bold, bright white veining, quarried in the Basque Country of northern Spain. Nero Marquina delivers the most dramatic black-and-white contrast in natural stone. Other black marble varieties include Black Marquina (the same stone, alternate spelling) and dark gray-to-black marbles with subtle mineral movement. Black marble is softer than granite or quartzite (Mohs 3-4) and prone to acid etching. For buyers who want the Nero Marquina look with better durability, Nero Marquina quartzite is the natural alternative. GoSource carries black marble from GoSource-direct at wholesale trade pricing.
