Dark gray granite
Our classic dark gray granite is quarried in China. This granite is the color, second only to black granite, that we sell the most. It is fine- to medium-grained, has very little pattern deviation and an even color.
When finely cut or flamed, dark gray granite looks very natural. For best results, choose a light text color if the surface is polished and a darker text treatment if the surface is carved. Raised text looks great on dark gray granite.
Thanks to the contrasts between the polished and carved surface, dark gray granite is very suitable for beautiful decorations and sculptures where the contrasts come into their own.
Granite is known for its high hardness and durability, and dark gray granite from China is no exception. It is resistant to abrasion and weathering, making it suitable for gravestones exposed to different weather conditions.
Dark gray granite is mainly composed of minerals such as quartz, feldspar and mica, which give the stone its characteristic properties. The exact composition can vary depending on the specific quarry and geological formation.
The dark gray granite has a relatively homogeneous structure with slight variations in patterns and veins. There may be subtle crystal formations or grainy patterns that give the stone a visually interesting surface. As you reach new areas of the quarry, the hue of the material may differ slightly.
Dark gray granite is not just a rock, it is a story of beauty, strength and eternity. With its elegant appearance and superior durability, it is the perfect choice for a tombstone that will honor the memory of your loved one with dignity and love forever.
