Black Marquina
The Stone
See the natural beauty of Black Marquina up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this porcelain unique.
Deep black porcelain with striking white veining — a high-contrast Marquina marble recreation in heat-proof porcelain.
Optimum Black Marquina delivers the iconic drama of Spanish Nero Marquina marble in porcelain stoneware. Its deep black base is traversed by striking veining in bright white to off-white, with finer threads appearing as translucent soft grey. The veins flow with a random, predominantly diagonal movement, varying from delicate and fine to boldly pronounced, with moderate to dense distribution that creates significant visual movement across the surface. The highly polished finish intensifies the contrast between the jet-black base and bright white veining, with visible reflections adding another layer of depth. As porcelain, this surface handles everything that would damage natural Marquina marble — hot pans, acidic foods, and heavy use — without a trace. The non-porous surface resists staining completely. Manufactured in extra-large 1840 × 3300mm slabs from 100% natural raw materials. Supplied and installed by In2Stone across Hampshire.

"Excellent Service and Beautiful Results - Highly Recommended! I recently had In2stone install new quartz worktops in my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was completely stress-free. The team was not only competitively priced but also incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. They handled everything seamlessly - removing the existing sink, hob, and old laminate worktops before fitting the new quartz surfaces. The finished worktops are absolutely beautiful and have transformed my kitchen into a modern, minimalist space that I love spending time in. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. I'm a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend In2stone to anyone considering new worktops. Well done to the entire team - you've exceeded my expectations!"— Ashley ChapmanGoogle Review
