Black quartz countertops deliver the depth of natural black marble and granite without the porosity, sealing requirements, or slab-matching challenges that come with quarried stone. The category spans three distinct looks: Nero Marquina — white veining on a jet black background; Black and Gold — bold brass or gold veining for maximum contrast; and Absolute Black — near-solid, near-matte black with minimal surface movement. GoSource carries all three at wholesale trade pricing, stocked in full slab format.
Black quartz countertops range from $55 to $160+ per square foot depending on brand, pattern complexity, slab size, and finish. GoSource members receive wholesale trade pricing across all tiers — here is what to expect by budget range.
