Black Pearl

Subtle sparkle from the grey inclusions in this Black granite worktop give a character that is more restrained than Star Galaxy Granite, yet having a greater depth than BG Absolute Granite. Nero Black Pearl granite is a blue-green syenite (larvikite) of the Permian period. It has a dark colour with only a few, iridescent feldspars. This stone internationally may be nominated as a granite but in the area of application of the European Standard this stone must be nominated as a syenite. Ideal for both interior and exterior use, Nero Black Pearl granite is frost free and polish constant. Mineral Composition: Syenite: A coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock of the same general composition as granite but with the quartz either absent or present in relatively small amounts (<5%). The feldspar component of syenite is predominantly alkaline in character (usually orthoclase). Plagioclase feldspars may be present in small quantities, less than 10%.
