The Stone

See the natural beauty of Mercurio Honed up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this quartz unique.

Deep charcoal honed quartz — a powerful dark surface with a velvety matte finish and quiet, sophisticated authority.

CRL Quartz Mercurio Honed is a surface of deep, understated authority. Its very dark charcoal, near-black tone delivers bold visual weight, while the honed finish removes reflective glare completely, producing a velvety matte depth that is both practical and aesthetically superior to polished dark surfaces. The near-black ground is entirely plain — no veining, no pattern — allowing the material quality and the finish to speak for themselves. The honed surface is significantly more forgiving of fingerprints and watermarks than polished alternatives, making it an ideal choice for busy family kitchens as well as high-end contemporary spaces where a sophisticated, deep dark surface is the design statement.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Mercurio Honed

What is CRL Quartz Mercurio Honed?
CRL Quartz Mercurio Honed is a mid cool grey surface with a turbulent, cloud-like mottled pattern of swirling lighter and darker grey tones, delivered with the velvety depth of a Super Honed matte finish. The surface resembles liquid metal or storm cloud in its organic, dynamic movement, creating a greystone that feels genuinely industrial and sophisticated simultaneously.
Is Mercurio Honed better for a worktop or bathroom vanity?
CRL Quartz Mercurio Honed works exceptionally well in both settings. In a kitchen, its matte finish is very practical — less prone to showing watermarks and fingerprints than a polished grey surface. In a bathroom, the combination of the organic grey character and the velvety matte finish creates a spa-like, stone-influenced aesthetic. The non-porous composition makes it equally hygienic and maintenance-free in either application.
What hardware pairs with Mercurio Honed?
The cool, industrial character of Mercurio Honed pairs most naturally with brushed steel, chrome, and gunmetal hardware for a consistent cold-metal aesthetic. For a warmer contrast, brushed brass or aged gold hardware softens the starkness of the grey matte surface. Matte black hardware creates a strong, masculine contrast that suits industrial and contemporary kitchen designs.
Does the matte finish on Mercurio Honed make it harder to clean?
No — the Super Honed matte finish on Mercurio Honed is no harder to clean than a polished surface. A damp cloth and mild detergent cleans the surface quickly and effectively. The practical advantage of the matte finish is that everyday watermarks and fingerprints are less visible on a matte grey surface than on an equivalent polished one, meaning the surface always looks presentable with less frequent cleaning.
What panel or island edge profile works with Mercurio Honed?
CRL Quartz Mercurio Honed's industrial, matte character suits clean, simple edge profiles best — a pencil or softened square eased edge profile is the most natural match, avoiding highly ornate traditional profiles that would sit incongruously with the surface's contemporary mood. A mitred edge detail on a 20mm slab can replicate the look of a thicker stone slab if a more substantial appearance is desired.
★★★★★
"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!"
