The Stone
See the natural beauty of Marquina Shimmer up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this quartz unique.
Deep black quartz with stark white fractured marble veining — a bold, powerfully contrasted surface.
Nilestone Marquina Shimmer channels the prestige of Spanish Nero Marquina marble with absolute contrast. Its deep uniform black base with a highly polished finish carries stark white veining prominently displayed in random diagonal patterns. The veins have a distinct fractured or lightning-like pattern varying from fine threads to medium widths, occasionally branching into more intricate networks at moderate density. The black-and-white contrast is the most extreme in the Nilestone range — no grey transitions, no warm tones, just absolute darkness and absolute brightness. The fractured lightning-like vein pattern adds raw natural drama. Engineered from 93% natural quartz with polymer resins. Non-porous, scratch resistant (Mohs 7), NSF and Greenguard certified. 15-year warranty. 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
