The Stone

See the natural beauty of Liem Black up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this porcelain unique.

The darkest Liem — a commanding charcoal-black porcelain with spare white veining that brings the gravitas of Pietra Grey marble to any surface.

XTone Liem Black is the darkest and most dramatic member of the Liem family. The deep charcoal base carries subtle violet-grey undertones that give the surface richness beyond simple black, while fine white veining traces diagonal lines across the slab with elegant restraint. Available in Nature, Polished, and Silk finishes and up to 20mm thickness, Liem Black creates commanding kitchen worktops, luxurious bathroom surfaces, and dramatic commercial counters. It pairs beautifully with the lighter Liem Grey and mid-tone Liem Dark for cohesive multi-tonal design schemes.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Liem Black

How does Liem Black compare to the other dark XTone designs?
Liem Black sits in the middle of XTone's dark marble spectrum. Aurora Noir has the sparsest white veining; Negresco has the densest web of cross-crossing veins; Liem Black has an elegant, consistent diagonal vein structure that falls between these extremes — sophisticated, controlled, and deeply refined.
Is Liem Black suitable for kitchen worktops?
Yes — Liem Black at 12mm or 20mm thickness makes an extraordinarily dramatic kitchen worktop. Dark surfaces in a kitchen create a moody, luxurious ambiance that lighter marbles cannot achieve. As XTone porcelain it is completely heat, stain, and scratch resistant — far easier to live with than dark natural marbles.
Does Liem Black have any warm tones?
Liem Black's base carries very subtle violet-grey undertones — it is not simply neutral black. These subtle cool-violet hints give it a depth and richness that distinguishes it from flat solid black surfaces and align it more closely with the character of dark natural marbles like Pietra Grey.
Can Liem Black, Liem Dark, and Liem Grey be used together?
Yes — the Liem trio is designed to work in harmony. Using Liem Black as a kitchen island worktop, Liem Dark on the perimeter, and Liem Grey as wall cladding creates a sophisticated tonal gradient from light to dark within a completely coherent design family. This is one of the most architecturally elegant ways to specify XTone.
What finish best suits Liem Black?
The Polished finish intensifies Liem Black's depth and makes the white veining luminous — creating a classic dark marble aesthetic of great luxury. The Nature (matte) finish gives a more contemporary, understated character. Both are beautiful; the choice depends on whether you prefer reflective drama or refined restraint.
★★★★★
"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!"
