Description
Galaxy Diamond Granite features a deep charcoal-grey to black background, densely interspersed with brilliant silvery-white mica-like sparkles and warm golden-bronze crystalline inclusions. Its highly polished surface enhances the metallic sheen and reflective qualities of the mineral crystals, creating a striking galaxy-like appearance. Dense, irregular patterns of gold and silver mineral formations contrast dramatically against the dark matrix, giving the stone exceptional visual depth and a luxurious appearance.
Texture & Structure
-
Texture: Medium to coarse-grained, crystalline and granular, with prominent reflective mineral crystals.

Usage
Suitable for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanity tops, flooring, interior and exterior wall cladding, reception desks, hotel lobbies, commercial flooring, fireplace surrounds, staircases, bar counters, decorative feature walls, and luxury furniture applications. Its dark background and reflective crystalline inclusions make it particularly suitable for high-end residential and commercial architectural projects.
Maintenance
Clean regularly using warm water, a soft cloth, and a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaning pads and harsh chemicals. Apply a suitable penetrating stone sealer after testing the material's absorption characteristics. Wipe spills promptly, particularly oils and acidic substances. For polished countertops, use cutting boards and protective mats to minimize scratching and surface damage. Periodic professional cleaning and resealing may help preserve its natural shine and appearance.
