Black Galaxy 1stchoice
This material can have a dark black background, a dark black/green tinge or black with grey/white pinhead sized spotting. All will have golden specks in them however there are two distinct types: small/medium flake and large flake. There are many different quarries of Black Galaxy granite, the background colour and flecking can vary considerably. For large projects ensure that the blocks are all extracted from the same quarry face for matching purposes.
First Choice material will have no white lines or veins. Expect to pay a much higher price for large gangsaw-sized slabs. Lower cost Black Galaxy may have black or white lines or clouds however First Choice small blocks suitable for tiles and smaller-sized slab production are usually readily available. Low cost Black Galaxy retail tiles are usually of Commercial Quality material, only when placing First Choice alongside Commercial Quality would the layman tell the difference.
It is mainly used for flooring, cladding, kitchen counters and table tops. It looks best when it is glossy but is also suitable for flamed (thermal), honed, river-washed, leather and brushed finishes. Available in both slabs and tiles.
