Ebony Green Granite

Ebony Green Granite is a sophisticated and elegant natural stone characterized by its deep green to nearly black base color, enriched with a strong concentration of black minerals. It is further highlighted by occasional white or light grey veining and subtle reddish or lighter streaks, creating a high-contrast and slightly dramatic appearance. The visual effect is bold and dense, with a consistent background that is accented by irregular veins and tonal variations, adding depth and movement across the surface.

Texture and Structure:

• Medium- to coarse-grained crystalline structure.
• Composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and dark ferromagnesian minerals.
• Compact interlocking crystal matrix for high density and durability.

Physical and Mechanical Properties:

• Water Absorption:Low water absorption, typically around 0.25% - 0.45%.

• Density:Approximately 2.68 - 2.74 g/cm³.

• Flexural Strength:Typically between 12 - 15 MPa.

• Compressive Strength:Ranges from 160 - 190 MPa.

• Hardness:Rated 6 - 7 on the Mohs scale.

• Porosity:Generally low porosity, contributing to its durability.

• Slip Resistance:Good slip resistance when a proper finish is applied.

Chemical and Mineral Composition (% by Weight):

• Quartz:25% - 30%

• Feldspar:40% - 60%

• Mica (Biotite/Muscovite):5% - 10%

• Ferromagnesian Minerals (Hornblende, Pyroxene):5% - 15%

• Other Minerals (Trace Elements):1% - 5%

Usage:

Interior Applications:

• Kitchen countertops

• Bathroom vanities

• Flooring

• Wall cladding

• Staircases

Exterior Applications:

• Facades

• Outdoor countertops

• Landscaping

• Paving

Maintenance:

• Routine cleaning with mild soap and water.
• Periodic resealing recommended to maintain optimal appearance and resistance to stains.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.

Cutting Sizes (cm):

• Common slab sizes are often cut into 2 cm and 3 cm thicknesses.
• Custom sizes available based on specific project needs.

Common Surface Finish Options:

• Polished : Offers a glossy and reflective surface, enhancing color and pattern.

• Honed : Smooth but matte finish, for a subtle and sophisticated look.

• Flamed : Rough texture providing excellent slip resistance, ideal for outdoor use.

• Bush-Hammered : Textured finish that creates a rugged, non-slip surface.

• Leathered : Slightly textured and soft appearance, less glossy than polished.

Ebony Green Granite, quarried in Rajasthan, India, stands out due to its distinctive color and durable properties, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial projects that seek both aesthetic appeal and functional performance.
