Each slab of Ceppo Noir in lot 1 measures about 132″ × 77″. This is 2 cm black marble quarried in Italy with a leather finish, and the lot is currently on hold at our Los Angeles yard.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 132″ × 77″, about 71 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is black. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. This material is recorded as quarried in Italy.

The leather finish is lightly textured, with a softer look than a full polish. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

In the yard

Lot 1 at our Los Angeles yard shows 2 slabs in stock, 2 slabs on hold, and none currently available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.

The yard can confirm whether a held slab can be released.

Where it works

For this kind of stone, the usual applications are bathrooms, vanities, fireplace surrounds, and feature walls. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed. Inspiration photos show this stone in a Wet Bar.

The material

Marble is a metamorphic stone, recrystallized from limestone, and it is valued for veining and a luminous surface. It is softer and more sensitive to acids than granite or quartzite, so wine, citrus, and strong cleaners can etch a polish. That is why it is a classic for bathrooms, vanities, fireplaces, and walls, and for kitchens when the owner wants the look and will live with a natural patina. A honed face shows etching less than a high polish. Vein direction should be planned on the actual slabs before fabrication.

About Ceppo Noir

Ceppo Noir, also known as Ceppo Nero, is a sophisticated Italian marble that redefines the classic conglomerate aesthetic. Sourced from the Lombardy region, this stone is characterized by its deep ebony to charcoal matrix, uniquely embedded with rounded clasts of slate, ash, and warm-toned minerals. Unlike traditional veined marbles, its rhythmic, stone-on-stone pattern offers a natural alternative to high-end terrazzo, making it a favorite for "New Industrial" designs. Interestingly, the name "Ceppo" is derived from the Italian word for "stump" or "rock with fragments," reflecting its distinctive geological formation that has graced European architecture for over a century.
