Nero Marquina marble

Nero Marquina

Nero Marquina marble (mármol Negro Marquina[1]) is a high quality, black bituminous limestone extracted from the town of Markina-Xemein, in the Biscay province of the Basque Country of northern Spain.[2] This variety of natural stone gets its black color from naturally occurring bitumen.[3]

It is one of the most important "marbles" from Spain. It has a fine and compact grain with a black background and white veins, which can be abundant.
