Real Fyre Nero Marquina G23 Fyre Spheres: a black marble look instead of logs
The Real Fyre Nero Marquina G23 Fyre Spheres is a vent free set of ceramic fire spheres that replace logs. Each sphere is 4 inches across, with a black marble look and pale veining. Named for the Spanish stone, the finish suits a room with marble. It is vent free, which means the burner burns clean enough to run with the damper closed, so the heat stays in the room. It still goes inside a real fireplace, and vent free logs are not allowed everywhere, so check your local code first. It comes in an 18 or a 24 inch set. Measure your firebox at the front, at the back, and front to back, and if you land between two sizes, take the smaller set.
The spheres are ceramic, made to sit in the flame, and the burner wraps its flame around them. The price is for the spheres only. On the page you pick natural gas or propane and add the G23 burner. You also pick how it lights: with an on and off remote, or with a remote that sets the flame height plus electronic ignition. A Fyreback, a steel panel that stands behind the fire, is optional.

FAQ
What makes the Nero Marquina finish the designer pick?
It borrows its name and look from the famed Spanish black marble: a deep black ground crossed with pale veining, so each sphere reads as a turned stone object rather than a solid color. In the Fyre Spheres range it is the luxury option, the finish specifiers reach for when the fireplace is meant to be a jewelry moment in the room.
Are the spheres actual marble?
They are engineered fireplace media wearing a Nero Marquina marble finish, built robust enough to sit inside a working flame, which quarried stone is not asked to do. You get the veined black-marble look with hearth-rated durability, in the same 4-inch sphere format as the rest of the Fyre Spheres family.
Which burner do these spheres pair with?
The G23 vent-free burner, in the width matching your set: US4-18-NM with the 18-inch, US4-24-NM with the 24-inch. The pairing is fixed by design, because the G23’s flame pattern is engineered to envelop the spheres. Choose fuel and controls when ordering from the gas fireplace burner range.
What does installing the full setup involve?
A professional gas connection for the G23 burner, sphere placement per the burner instructions, and, because this is vent-free equipment with an oxygen depletion sensor, a check that local codes allow ventless products in your area. From there the Nero Marquina set needs no flue modifications, which is much of the appeal for remodels.
How is Nero Marquina different from the Epic Black spheres?
Both are black, but they aim at different rooms. Epic Black is a uniform matte black: stark, graphic, minimalist. Nero Marquina layers white-on-black veining across each 4-inch sphere, adding movement and a natural-stone pedigree that suits polished, high-end interiors. If the surround features marble, brass, or lacquer, the veined finish is usually the stronger match.
What does the flame actually do around the spheres?
The G23 burner produces a dynamic pattern that envelops the spheres rather than rising behind them: flame threads between the Nero Marquina orbs and wraps their veined surfaces, so the composition looks lit from within the arrangement. It is a very different picture from a log fire, closer to sculpture with fire moving through it.
Will a sphere fire smell like gas when it burns?
A properly installed set should burn essentially odor-free, since the G23 is a clean-burning vent-free system. What you may notice is whatever the room air carries: dust after months idle, paint fumes, strong candles, because a ventless burner draws its combustion air from the room. Keep the Nero Marquina spheres and burner dusted each season and light-off stays clean.
