About Black Taurus

Black Taurus is a visually arresting schist from Brazil, frequently referred to as a granite or quartzite in the trade due to its immense durability. It features a profound, obsidian-black background dramatically interrupted by sweeping, fluid waves of gold, white, and rust-colored quartz. This high-contrast movement creates a "liquid gold" effect, making it a premier choice for statement pieces like waterfall islands and feature walls. Geologically, its schistose nature is evident in its foliated, banded texture, formed under intense metamorphic pressure. Interestingly, while its pattern is often compared to Magma Gold, Black Taurus is distinguished by its significantly darker, deeper black base.
