When you hear the name of black marbles, you probably think only of stones with light-colored backgrounds — but that’s not always the case.
Black marble, also known as Spider marble, is one of the varieties extracted from the region. As its name suggests, it features a dark brown to black color theme, which sets it apart from other marbles.

Thanks to its dark background and the presence of white and golden veins resembling spider webs (hence the name “Spider”), this stone offers a striking and elegant appearance.

In the marble category, Spider Marble closely resembles Spanish Emperador and Turkish Dark Emperador stones, but it comes at a significantly more affordable price, making it highly popular both domestically and internationally.

Like all marble stones, due to its limestone composition, it is not suitable for outdoor use or areas exposed to direct sunlight. However, it is an excellent choice for interior applications, especially for decorative wall cladding, adding luxury and depth to interior spaces.

One important thing to know about black marble is that it is extracted in limited quantities, and a large portion is exported, making it relatively rare in the local market.

This stone is processed in various sizes, including tiles, custom patterns, long formats, and slabs.
