Starry Black Quartz

Origin & Technical Profile

Origin: Manufactured in China and imported by FB Marble.

What the slab looks like: A fine-grained black with subtle sparkle, close to the look of black granite.

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 Starry Black Quartz

The look: Starry Black Quartz has a fine-grained black with subtle sparkle, close to the look of black granite. A low-maintenance black for kitchen counters where you want a granite look without sealing.

Living with the pattern: The sparkle in Starry 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 Starry 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
