Marquinia marble, also known as Nero Marquina, comes from ancient quarries in the Basque Country, in northern Spain, and is among the most sought-after black marbles in the world.
A marble with dramatic appeal
Its intense black background, crossed by sharp, bold white veins, creates a highly striking graphic effect that immediately catches the eye.
The characteristics of Marquinia
It's a compact, hard-wearing marble, valued in architecture and interior design for its ability to give any space a strong character.
Which settings suit it best
Marquinia particularly stands out in contemporary and minimalist settings, where the colour contrast becomes the true protagonist of the design. To learn more, read also: Emperador Dark: The Brown Marble That Decorates with Elegance.
