Prezio Stone Black Sahara Marble Slab Program

Black Sahara is the tuxedo of the slab wall: a saturated jet black field crossed by thin, deliberate threads of gold and white. The veining is sparse enough to keep surfaces architectural and sharp, which is why it anchors bars, powder rooms, fireplace surrounds, and kitchens that trade brightness for drama.

Slabs run approx 105 x 65 in from sequential bundles. Polished is the definitive finish, turning counters into black mirrors with metallic thread; honed reads as near black suede for clients who want the color without reflection. Thread density varies by lot and is approved on photography during quote review.

• Lot photography approved before release

Specification Table

Included with This Program

• Full slabs allocated from sequential bundles
• Lot photography for approval before release
• Bookmatch sequencing on request
• Care and fabrication reference documents

Installation and Care Notes

• Fabrication and installation by qualified stone professionals only; this program supplies material and sequencing documentation to your fabricator of record.
• Field template verification is required before cutting; nominal slab dimensions are planning figures and every lot is confirmed against the released slab list.
• Seam placement and vein flow direction are approved on drawings during quote review before fabrication begins.
• 2 cm tops require continuous plywood substrate or engineered support at spans and overhangs; 3 cm spans further and typically carries overhangs to 10 in without corbels, confirmed by the fabricator.
• Seal all faces and edges before grouting or first use, then follow the resealing cadence in the care schedule.
• Marble is acid sensitive; specify pH neutral cleaners and prompt wipe downs in owner handover documents.
• Edge profile, sink and faucet cutouts, and backsplash heights are selected and priced at quote.

Program Support

• Every slab is graded on arrival and allocated from sequential bundles for consistency
• Current lot photography is issued for approval during quote review before any slab is released
• Support continues through templating and installation questions with your fabricator of record

Frequently Asked Questions

Does black marble show wear more than lighter stones?
Fingerprints and dust read more on dark polished surfaces, and etching shows as dull spots. Honed finish hides both; polished rewards regular wipe downs with a mirror depth no dark granite matches.

How much gold should I expect?
Thread density ranges from a few decisive strokes to a fine net across the slab. Lot photography in your quote shows the exact balance before allocation.

Which thickness for a bar or fireplace?
3 cm for bar tops and hearths that take contact; 2 cm for vertical surround panels and cladding where weight matters.

Is it suitable for kitchen counters?
Yes with marble care: sealed at installation, pH neutral cleaners, and honed finish for heavy use kitchens. Many projects run it on a bar or island and keep prep zones in a harder stone.
