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 will have minimal variation. Black granite is one of the most difficult stones to hone because it shows buffer marks and oils from your fingers on the surface of the product. The factory uses a special process in which to limit this, however it may show long “W” type buffer marks, or swirl marks. 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. Arizona Tile also offers Indian Premium Black in polished and satin finishes to help accentuate any design.
As a natural stone product, it is recommended that this be sealed to extend its longevity. Natural stone may absorb moisture during fabrication and from installation materials. Therefore, it is recommended that sealing should be done after the stone has fully dried to ensure proper sealer absorption, and prior to consumer use. Drying time will vary depending on the stone, as well as the temperature and humidity level. After sealing, allow it to cure completely. Arizona Tile suggests using a solvent-based impregnating sealer for the initial sealing.
This granite is also known as Absolute Black, Jet Black, or Luna Nero.
