Mariance Black granite is a natural stone that was formed deep within the earth's crust over millions of years. It is classified as an igneous rock, meaning it was formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
The process of Mariance Black granite's formation began with the melting of pre-existing rocks under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. This molten rock, or magma, slowly rose to the surface through cracks and fissures in the earth's crust. As it cooled and solidified, minerals within the magma crystallized, forming the characteristic patterns and colors found in Mariance Black granite.
One of the key factors that contribute to the unique appearance of Mariance Black granite is the presence of feldspar and biotite minerals. These minerals create the dark black colour of the stone, while the white veining is caused by the presence of quartz and feldspar. The specific combination and arrangement of these minerals within the granite create the distinct pattern that is highly sought after in interior design.
Due to its durability and resistance to heat and scratches, Mariance Black granite is commonly used for worktops, backsplashes, and flooring in both residential and commercial settings. Its striking appearance and natural variations in colour and pattern make it a popular choice for modern and contemporary interior designs.
Being a natural stone, each block of Mariance Black granite varies with its own unique beauty, with slightly different shapes, patterns, colours and gradients emerging. Therefore, it is recommended that you view the stone in person and select the exact slabs that you are going to be using for your project.
