I am searching for the finest grained black absolute granite available for use as bathroom flooring. I need a 3/4-in. slab. Can you make a recommendation from your stock?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:26AM, Aug 23 2010.
Paul: The Absolute Black on this page is our finest grained premium variety. However, we do not sell full slabs, we are a fabricator.

We have white cabinets with a light browni tile on the floor. Thinking of changing the countertops from white tile to Absolute Black.granite. Any idea what would be a good backsplash to go with it?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:50AM, May 26 2010.
Neeta: I recommend to try a glass subway tile with gold and/or gray tones, that would look really nice.

I am trying to find a granite that is not too busy and will allow me to do a nice backsplash. I have picked out darker wood cabinets (chestnut finish) and would like something to go with it. I have a smaller kitchen with 2 windows. It is hard to find a granite that isn't super busy. What would go best?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:41PM, Dec 12 2009.
Ashley Kechter: You could go with all black, it's very classy.

We purchased a home with absolute black granite kitchen counters, island and backsplash. The cabinets are white with a white tile floor with small black diamonds. Very stark. We are installing hardwood floors (walnut finish) to match the rest of the house. We will replace the backsplash (with an earthy tumbled marble i think) and are considering replacing just the island granite for something that won't smudge and will allow us to "warm" up the room and bring in the floor, wall and backsplash earth toned colors. Would you suggest changing just the island granite to accomplish this? If so, which granites might work well? Thank you.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:46PM, Nov 27 2009.
Cindy: Changing the island granite to something more lively is an excellent idea. I suggest Solarius or perhaps Crema Bordeaux.
deborah - GUESTat 10:59AM, Nov 17 2009.
What do you think of the contrast we are considering, white cabinets with absolute black counter, island area very dark brown almost black cabinets with santa ceilca counter, white trim and dark red walls?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:25PM, Nov 17 2009.
deborah: Maybe chocolate glazed cabinets to compliment the browns and darker granite would be better.

Pat, We are thinking of getting absolute black granite for our kitchen counter. Is your granite honed? If so, is that why the rings from cups don't come off? Thanks.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:52AM, Aug 28 2009.
Krista: This particular Absolute Black is not honed, is polished, however we have a honed version of this material.

I purchased this absolute granite for kitchen counter tops and it is rings from cups will not come off as much as we try it is stained.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:50AM, May 8 2009.
hello world: That makes me question the stone's origin. We've heard reports of stones that were stained to look like Absolute Black. To test it you can moisten a cotton swab in acetone (or nail polish remover) and wipe the counters in an inconspicuous area. No color should transfer to the swab. Also, is it honed or polished?

I bought slabs of polished absolute black granite for my counter tops, but would prefer a honed finish. Is there some way to change it?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:55AM, Apr 23 2009.
charlee: Yes, it can be honed, but to achieve an even finish, special machinery is required.

What would you suggest for a bathroom (medium size with one window) with medium stained cherry vanity and white with very light grey and pink marbling floors? Granite or marble? Would a black work or should I go light? I am going for a spa feel.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:26AM, Jan 22 2009.
maureen: I think that black would feel out of place there. Also, I would lean towards marble. More of a classic and elegant feel to it in a bathroom. Something like Brecia Onyciata or Daine Real.

What dark stone (mostly black with brown speckles)would you suggest for a new kitchen with medium stained Cherry cabinetry, Natural Red Oak hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:47PM, Nov 18 2008.
Mary A.: Try Platinum Bahia. It's a very dark and rich brown With some golden reflections throughout. Very very clean look.

Please tell me how to clean black honed marble
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 03:35PM, Jun 18 2008.
Joyce L: Give it a thorough wash with a soft brush and warm water with dish soap. Then use a dedicated granite cleaner such as the one we have in our store. store.marble.com

Is this similar to 'Black pearl' or do you have something comparable?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:08PM, Nov 5 2007.
