We confirm slab availability and current pricing at the consultation.
About Black Star
Black Star quartz - what to know
Character
How Black Star reads in a kitchen
Black Star is a deep black quartz that anchors a kitchen with maximum contrast. Dramatic against white or light cabinetry; cohesive in two-tone or moody-modern designs.
South Florida fit
Why quartz works in our climate
Quartz is one of the strongest countertop choices for Palm Beach County kitchens. The surface is non-porous (so it won't absorb spills the way a natural stone can), it's highly heat-resistant up to the typical countertop range, and it shrugs off humidity — no sealing required, ever. Black Star ships with the same maintenance profile as every other quartz in this catalog.
Pairings
Cabinetry, hardware, and design context
Black Star pairs strongly with white perimeter cabinetry, brushed brass or matte-black hardware, and white-oak or walnut floors. We always recommend laying the actual slab next to your cabinet sample before final commitment — quartz photographs differently from how it reads in person under your kitchen's actual lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Black Star
Does Black Star need to be sealed?
No. Quartz is engineered (roughly 90–93% natural quartz aggregate bound with resin) and is non-porous, so it never needs sealing. Wipe daily with mild soap and water; avoid harsh abrasives and leaving acidic spills (citrus, vinegar) sitting on the surface for extended periods.
Is Black Star heat resistant?
Quartz handles brief heat contact well, but the resin binder can discolor under prolonged direct heat. Use a trivet for hot pots and pans straight off the stove. Don't set a heat-treated cast-iron skillet directly on the slab. No quartz is heat-proof in the way a true natural stone or solid-surface stone like soapstone is.
Does Black Star show fingerprints or dust?
Dark quartz (whether polished or honed) shows fingerprints, water spots, and dust more than a light slab. A microfiber cloth and a mild quartz-safe spray cleaner is the right daily-care routine. A leather or honed finish hides marks better than a high-polish finish.
