The Stone
See the natural beauty of Black Tempest up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this porcelain unique.
Deep charcoal porcelain with swirling grey-white veining — a stormy, dynamic surface with powerful movement.
Optimum Black Tempest lives up to its name with a surface that channels turbulent natural energy. Its deep charcoal grey base is covered by dense, dynamic veining that flows diagonally with significant swirling movement, creating a busy, storm-like pattern across the slab. The veins range from fine threads to broad, undulating bands in a spectrum of lighter grey tones, punctuated by striking bright white accents that create dramatic contrast against the dark backdrop. The honed, matte finish gives Black Tempest a smooth, understated texture that lets the pattern do the talking. As porcelain stoneware, it brings all the practical advantages — completely heat-proof, UV-stable, acid-resistant, and maintenance-free. This is a surface for statement kitchens where conventional marble-effect designs feel too restrained. 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
