Black marble and granite
What should I know before choosing black stone?
Black stone is dramatic and very practical in granite: Absolute Black and Black Galaxy are among the hardest-wearing kitchen counters. Black marbles such as Nero Marquina are for walls, vanities and accents. Black shows scratches, dust and water marks, especially polished, so a honed or leather finish is easier to live with on floors.
Watch for: Polished black shows every footprint, dust and water spot. Choose leather or honed for busy surfaces.

Questions about black stone
Is black granite good for a kitchen?
Yes. Dense black granites resist heat, stains and acids and need little sealing.
Does black marble scratch?
More easily than granite, and scratches show on a polished black surface. Keep black marble for walls and vanities.
