{"product_id":"prezio-stone-black-sahara-marble-slab","title":"Prezio Stone Black Sahara Marble Slab Program","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlabs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJet black marble with fine gold and white thread veining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSparse, architectural pattern that reads sharp at room scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished or honed finish, selected at quote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 cm and 3 cm gauged thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequential lots;
