Black Galaxy Granite

Black Galaxy is a jet-black granite scattered with small gold and bronze flecks that sparkle like stars, hence the name. Quarried in Andhra Pradesh, it is one of India's best-known granites and a classic choice for kitchen countertops, flooring and staircases.

What Black Galaxy looks like

The flecks are bronze-coloured mineral crystals set in an even black base. They are spread fairly evenly, so slabs match well across a large kitchen or floor. Under a mirror polish the gold catches light from every angle: warm lighting makes the stone look rich, cool white light makes it look sharp and modern.

Care and maintenance

Black Galaxy is dense, handles hot pans well and rarely stains. On a polished black surface, hard-water marks and fingerprints can show, so wipe it dry after cleaning. A leather finish hides them better if that bothers you.
