Five Types of Black Granite For Your Kitchen Worktop
|
|
Granite is a fantastic choice for a kitchen worktop. It is durable and extremely long lasting. This coupled with the fact that there are many differing colours to choose from, makes this type of stone one of the best for a kitchen worktop or work surface.
In this article, I will be discussing some of the main attributes and qualities for; Star Galaxy; Impala Black, Emerald Black, Zimbabwe Black and Ubatuba granite, as these are types of stone I have observed consumers purchasing.
I would also like to mention that this is not a comparison of how expensive these types of granite are, but more of an explanation and description of what they are and how, by knowing a little bit more about their colours and veining or not as the case may be, it may help you to see where these colours could fit within your design and room d谷cor.
Star Galaxy
Star Galaxy is quarried in India and has a beautiful black surface with copper and gold flecks within, which tend to vary from stone to stone. Star Galaxy also boasts small silver markings, which underline the stone and sparkle when the light hits them.
Impala Black
Quarried in South Africa, Impala Black is a mottled grey with very little colour within. Interestingly enough; some grades can even appear grey mottled black, which is quite a contrast.
Emerald Black
Emerald Black is a fantastic choice of stone. It is quarried in Norway and is commonly a black to very dark grey in colour, often found with flecks of each within. Adding the icing to the cake; Emerald Black has pearlescent crystals within. Varying in size, these crystals glow when light hits them - truly magical!
Zimbabwe
Black
Zimbabwe Black is from Zimbabwe (funny enough) and is one of my favourites! It is part of the 'Nero Absoluto' granite family (which is something I will talk about in a future article) and is rarely absolutely black. It tends to have small cloud-like markings within, ranging from grey to white.
Ubatuba
Ubatuba is a truly interesting stone / granite as it is not really black, but for many, it can appear this way. Ubatuba is quarried in Brazil and is commonly a dark green to gold in colour, but in a low light can have a mottled black effect. Ubatuba matches excellently with Oak, so for a kitchen, this could be the answer!
