What Is Black Granite?
Commercially, "black granite" includes a range of dark igneous stones — some true granites, others gabbro or similar rocks — that are dense, hard and dark in colour. They may be solid black, speckled with gold or silver, or veined.
Pros of Black Granite
Adaptability
Black granite suits modern, classic and traditional kitchens and pairs with almost any cabinet colour.
Stain Resistance
Dense black stones absorb very little and hide oil, haldi and crumbs.
Heat Resistance
Ideal for high-heat Pakistani cooking.
Low Maintenance
Many black granites need sealing only rarely.
Timeless Look
Black countertops never go out of style.
Cons of Black Granite
Cost
Premium black granites such as Magma Black are expensive, though local options like Impala Black are economical. In FB Marble's list, blacks range from about Rs 400 to Rs 5,000 per square foot.
Keep Up on Cleaning
Polished black shows fingerprints, dust and water spots. A leathered finish helps.
Dyed Imitations
Some low-quality "black granite" is dyed. Test with acetone on a hidden area.
