Impala Black Granite
Description
Impala Black granite is a Pakistani natural stone known for its very consistent fine-grained dark grey-black texture. Supplied by FB Marble from local quarries, it is one of the hardest and most durable granites we stock.
Impala Black's consistent, fine-grained texture makes it an ideal choice for large-scale commercial and residential projects where uniformity of appearance across multiple slabs is important.
Available in polished and flamed finishes, Impala Black granite is suitable for a wide range of applications including kitchen countertops, flooring, steps, cladding and commercial paving. Its exceptional durability makes it a top choice for high-traffic areas.
Origin & Technical Profile

What the slab looks like: A very even, fine-grained dark grey-black.

Practical note: Its uniform grain takes flamed and brushed finishes well, so it is widely used for exterior paving, cladding and memorials. 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.
