Description
Sparkle Black Quartz is an engineered quartz surface with a black base with fine golden sparkle flecks.

Origin & Technical Profile
Origin: Manufactured in China and imported by FB Marble.
What the slab looks like: A black base with fine golden sparkle flecks.
| Material | Engineered stone: crushed quartz bound with polymer resin and pigment |
|---|---|
| Country of origin | China |
| Finish | Polished / Re-Polishable |
| Thickness | 18mm |
| Slab size | 1800mm x 2700mm |
| Composition | Roughly 90–93% quartz aggregate, the rest resin and pigment |
| Density | About 2.3 – 2.4 g/cm³ |
| Water absorption | Near zero (typically ≤ 0.05%) — no sealing needed |
| Hardness | About 7 Mohs (quartz aggregate) |
| Heat | Resin can scorch above ~150 °C — always use a trivet |
| Outdoor use | Not recommended — strong UV can yellow the resin |
| Fabrication | Cut wet only: dry-cutting quartz releases crystalline silica dust |
Practical note: Daily cleaning with mild soap is enough; avoid oven cleaner, paint stripper and other strong solvents that attack the resin.
Technical figures are typical values for this type of material; colour can shift slightly between production batches, so match slabs from the same batch.
Choosing Sparkle Black Quartz
The look: Sparkle Black Quartz has a black base with fine golden sparkle flecks. A classic sparkle-black counter for kitchens with white cabinets.
Living with the pattern: The sparkle in Sparkle Black Quartz shows best under spotlights or daylight; under one ceiling light it reads as a plain colour. The specks also help hide crumbs and water marks.
Where it works best: Kitchen islands, bar and coffee counters, statement vanities and feature walls.
What goes with Sparkle Black Quartz:
- White or cream cabinets for strong contrast
- Warm wood cabinets for a richer, darker kitchen
- Gold or brass fittings, which stand out well against black
- Good under-cabinet lighting, since dark tops make a counter feel darker
