Nero Marquina Honed Marble Picket Mosaic Tiles
Marble / Black
Drama in black: Nero Marquina's deep, carbon-black marble is crossed by brilliant, jagged fissures of white calcite, cut here into elongated picket facets that drive a continuous, arrow-like tessellation across a wall or floor. A honed finish strips away the usual gloss to a velvet matte, subduing the stark monochrome contrast into quiet, imposing authority rather than shine. Supplied on a 305 mm sheet, the pickets read cleanly laid vertically or horizontally. Set upright they make a monumental, height-enhancing cladding for lobby walls and bar frontages; laid flat they give a slip-aware floor for wet zones and thermal suites, the honed surface also masking the micro-scuffs that show on polished black. The sharp graphic character also makes a striking backdrop for retail display. Producing from selected Nero Marquina in our own facilities, we calibrate each sheet so the pickets align across large runs, where any break interrupts the directional flow.

Read Before You Specify
- Honed, polished, tumbled or brushed — which finish should you specify?Specify honed for interior floors, tumbled or brushed where the surface gets wet, and polished only where there is no slip requirement. All four start from the same slab; the finish changes grip, how visibly it wears, and how often it needs sealing — not the stone itself.
- Marble or travertine — which should you specify?Specify marble where a polished, low-absorption surface matters, and travertine where texture, grip and warmth matter more. Marble absorbs about 0.15% of its weight in water against travertine at roughly 2.6%, but the two overlap in compressive strength — porosity and strength are separate properties.
