Black marble-look quartz with bold veining
Ice Max Black inverts the Ice Max idea: a deep black ground carries thick, frothy veins of white and pale gray, with smoky brown halos around them. The veins cluster in two broad horizontal belts, leaving areas of solid black between. This makes it one of the most dramatic surfaces in Compac's Ice of Genesis collection by Arik Levy. It is polished in 2cm and 3cm. Use it where contrast is intended, such as a bar, an island facing white perimeter counters, or a dark bathroom vanity. Black, bronze or brushed gold hardware all sit well against it.

Ice Max Black is for rooms where contrast is intended: a bar, an island facing white perimeter counters, or a dark bathroom vanity. Its deep black ground carries thick, frothy white and pale gray veins with smoky brown halos, clustered in two broad horizontal belts with solid black between. The areas of solid polished black will show fingerprints and dust, so expect regular wiping.
Ice Max Black clusters frothy white veins in two broad belts, while Ice Black spreads a web of thin silver-gray veins in several directions. Silestone Eternal Marquina is a more classic take, with crisp white veins branching across black.

Yes, particularly facing white perimeter counters. The deep black ground and thick white and gray veins make it a focal point. It is one of the most dramatic surfaces in the Ice of Genesis collection, so keep the rest of the kitchen simple.
The solid black areas between the vein belts are polished, so fingerprints, dust and water spots show more readily than on a light surface. The white and gray veining helps hide marks where it runs. A quick daily wipe keeps it even.
