Black Pearl Granite
Description
Black Pearl Granite is a South Indian granite with a deep black base and small silver-grey crystals that give a soft, pearl-like shimmer across the polished surface.
Its dark tone makes it a favourite for contrast in kitchens and bathrooms, especially with light cabinetry, white walls or brushed steel fittings.
Because the silver specks break up the black, it shows dust and fingerprints less than absolute black — a practical choice for counters, stairs and sills.

Origin: Quarried in Pakistan and supplied by FB Marble from local quarries, so lead times and transport costs are lower than for imported stone.
What the slab looks like: A deep black ground with small silver-grey crystals that give a soft, pearl-like shimmer under light.

Practical note: The small silver specks break up the black enough to hide dust better than absolute black, which suits stair treads and window sills as well as kitchen tops. Clean with warm water and a pH-neutral soap; avoid bleach and abrasive powders that strip the sealer.
Technical figures are typical ranges for this type of stone, not lab results for one block. Every natural slab differs in colour and pattern, so please view the actual slab before it is cut.
