Description
Indian Premium Black Honed is quarried in a boulder quarry near the town of Warangal, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The size and color of each block is fairly consistent between slabs and tile and will have minimal variation. Honing black granite is one of the most difficult processes, because black tends to show buffer marks on the surface. The factory uses a special process in which to limit this, but they will randomly appear on some of the material. However, this is normal and will not affect the beauty of the stone. Because it is such a dense stone, and there are minimal micro fissures and pitting, no resin is applied to the surface.
Piece to piece variation in shade or color are inherent in all natural stone products; therefore, when installing natural stone tile, it is recommended to mix tiles from several boxes at a time during installation to achieve the best range of color. As natural stone products, it is recommended that these be sealed to extend their longevity.
This granite is also known as Absolute Black, Jet Black, or Luna Nero.
