Crystal Blue Granite, Selection Granite & Marble, Palanpur

Best used for

Crystal Blue is a black granite with a blue-grey cast, scattered with clusters of white and grey crystals that stand out clearly against the dark ground. It suits staircases, kitchen counters and floors where you want a dark stone that still has life in it. The white crystals break up the surface, so it does not show every footprint and water drop the way a plain black does.

Things to know

The blue tone shows best on a good polish and in daylight; under dim or warm lights the stone reads closer to black. The size and spread of the white crystals vary across a block, so look at the slabs together before a large order. Dark granite is dense and needs little more than a seal after fitting and a dry wipe to keep it clear of water spots.
