This is a beautiful lightly textured slate tile with no sheen used as a stunning backsplash against Carrera marble counter tops (they have the same color vein of charcoal grey/black going through them and with white cabinets and black hardware.  I just LOVE how dramatic it is.  Note though that the picture is showing nine 12x12 tiles so you get the idea of what they all look like, It is NOT of one 12x12 tile that has 9 little 4"x4" squares in the one tile
