Absoluto granite for kitchen worktops

Absoluto granite is one of the blackest granites available and the premium is truly premium!

I suppose to a customer looking for black granite worktops then black probably means black, but to a stone specialist, this is definitely not the case.

There are three main types of absoluto; African absoluto, Indian absoluto and China absoluto and these are the three I will be discussing today.

African Absoluto, also known as Zimbabwe Black is an extremely sort after stone and with this in mind; it is also hard to obtain too... It tends to not be as black as the other types of absoluto and can be a little misty within, but all in all, this would definitely make your kitchen into a million dollars!

India absoluto can actually be more misty within than the Afrinac granite, but the absoluto from India is probably the best absoluto that money could buy!

China absoluto is probably the most popular with consumers. This is probably because it is in a large supply and it is also probably the cheapest of the three here. China absoluto is also known as Shanxi Black granite, this being due to it being quarried from the Shanxi region of China.

Incidentely; my Auntie just had her kitchen worktop resurfaced with Shanxi black and I must say that it looks absolutely fabulous!
