Description

River Black Granite is an exceptional natural stone admired for its dramatic, flowing patterns and deep charcoal-black base. This granite features unique wave-like striations that resemble the gentle movement of a river—hence the name “River Black.” Quarried primarily in Southern India, this stone is widely recognized for its rich texture, refined color palette, and impressive durability. It’s a favorite among architects, designers, and homeowners seeking a bold and sophisticated aesthetic.

River Black Granite is sourced from quarries in South India, particularly in the states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. These regions are geologically rich and known for producing high-quality granites. Formed over millions of years through intense heat and pressure, this igneous rock has a naturally dense structure that makes it resistant to wear and ideal for heavy-duty applications.

The flowing, linear veining across its surface mimics natural water currents, offering a contemporary look that stands out in both minimalist and luxurious interiors.

Appearance and Texture

River Black Granite boasts a deep black or dark grey background with striking silver, grey, and charcoal veins running in waves or streaks across the surface. Each slab is unique, showcasing nature’s artistry with subtle variations in pattern and depth. This movement in design gives spaces a sense of motion and elegance, making it an ideal centerpiece for statement installations.

The stone is available in multiple finishes such as:

• Polished – for a glossy, mirror-like effect
• Honed – for a smooth, matte surface
• Leathered – for a textured, slightly rustic feel
• Flamed – for slip-resistant, outdoor-friendly surfaces
