Formed from the deep transformation of ancient volcanic rocks, Black Misty is made up of 55% hornblende, which gives it its rich black color, crossed by a subtle “mist” of recrystallized plagioclase and quartz. Choosing Black Misty granite brings the solid look of a dense metamorphic stone to your project, blending a fluid, natural aesthetic with the durability needed for heavily used surfaces.
Every detail in natural stone comes from the perfect mix of minerals, creating colors, veins, and textures that can’t really be copied. It’s a natural formation that holds the story of the Earth, shaped over millions of years.
From the German word meaning “to deceive,” the name comes from miners who were fooled by its weight and shine, which look like metal but have no real value. It is a calcium and iron amphibole commonly found in granites and basalts. Its black, prismatic crystals don’t produce metal, but they are important for studying the history of igneous rocks.
The most abundant mineral series in the Earth’s crust, part of the feldspar family. Their chemical composition includes sodium, calcium, aluminum, and silica. They are important for classifying igneous rocks and range from white to gray. They are commonly found in basalts and granites and usually show fine, typical striations on their crystal surfaces.
A very common mineral in the continental crust made of pure silica. It is essential in granites, sandstones, and quartzites and is known for its high hardness and glassy shine. It is highly resistant to weathering and forms beach sand. It comes in many colorful varieties, like amethyst, and is important for making glass and watches.
