India · Granite
also known as Nero Assoluto Indiano, Indian Black Gabbro, Indian Black Granite
One of the world's benchmark black stones: a fine-grained gabbro from India that achieves a near-total black under polished finish. Technically a gabbro (not granite), it is harder and denser than most granites, with virtually zero visible crystals, zero porosity and near-zero water absorption. Used globally for kitchen countertops, bathroom walls, exterior facade panels and monumental work where an uncompromising solid black surface is required. Major quarrying districts in Odisha, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Type-level physical facts shown. Per-lot lab values (absorption, flexural strength) confirmed at quotation.
Absolute Black is a uniform black gabbro with no pattern. Black Galaxy (from Andhra Pradesh) is a black gabbro containing small golden copper-coloured speckles, giving a starfield effect. They suit different design aesthetics.
