About Makalu

Makalu is a visually arresting black granite quarried from the dramatic landscapes of Brazil. Defined by its deep charcoal-to-black matrix, this stone features a dynamic veined structure with elegant trails of silver, white, and subtle green. Formed over 200 million years ago through intense tectonic activity, it contains a rich mineral assembly of plagioclase, biotite, and quartz. Its exceptional resistance to acid and frost makes it a premier choice for both sophisticated interior surfaces and rugged outdoor applications. Interestingly, its complex geological history is preserved in its unique mylonitic texture, reflecting the ancient pressures that shaped the Brasilianas Mountain Range.
