Forest Black Granite II
Description
Forest Black Granite II is a deep black Pakistani local granite carrying subtle dark green undertones that reveal themselves under close inspection and varied lighting.
This gives the stone a rich, layered depth compared to a plain black granite, making it a sophisticated choice for kitchen islands, countertops and feature walls.
Quarried locally, Forest Black Granite II offers the drama of a premium dark stone while remaining an accessible, locally available option for Pakistani homes and export.
Origin & Technical Profile
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 base that shows faint dark-green undertones up close and in daylight.

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.
