This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 124″ × 72″, about 62 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is black with white and grey. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade.

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 29-58 at our Los Angeles yard shows 9 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 9 slabs available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.

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.

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 Kenya Black

Kenya Black is a captivating marble primarily quarried in China, though select varieties are also sourced from Kenya and Italy. Also known as Ancient Wood or Silver Wave, this stone is defined by its deep black-gray base and dramatic, linear veining in shades of white, gray, and beige. Its unique patterns often mimic the organic growth rings of ancient trees or the undulating movement of a stormy sea. Highly versatile and durable, it is a premier choice for high-impact features like waterfall islands and statement walls. Interestingly, its fossiliferous appearance often leads it to be book-matched to showcase its rhythmic, mirror-image symmetry.
