This massive, dark, dense, versatile material has gained widespread use throughout human history. Black granite can be carved in a variety of textures, from a rustic, rough-chiseled surface to a contemporary, high-polished one. For those who like the smooth finish of the polished, but want a matte look, the surface can be honed.
Because this material is born from molten magma and forms over hundreds of years, some natural mineral deposits are to be expected. These show up as round or irregular-shaped anomalies that are silver, gold or copper in color. These anomalies are generally small but can range up to approximately one inch in diameter (about the size of a quarter). These inclusions are a part of the makeup of the natural stone.
This stone is a good choice for custom designs
Fun Fact: Granite is the oldest igneous rock in the world, believed to have been formed as long as 300 million years ago. For those who’ve forgotten your high school science classes, igneous rocks are formed from cooling lava or magma.
