About Super Black

Super Black is a premier natural quartzite from Brazil, prized for its deep, obsidian-like tonality and exceptional physical resilience. Characterized by a dense, fine-grained structure, this metamorphic stone offers a sophisticated, uniform appearance with subtle, tonal variations that provide a sense of natural depth. Unlike many dark stones that are actually granites or schists, Super Black is a true quartzite, meaning it boasts a hardness of approximately 7 on the Mohs scale. This makes it highly resistant to the scratching and acid etching that typically plagues black marbles. Interestingly, the intense dark coloration of such Brazilian quartzites often results from unique mineral inclusions subjected to immense geological pressure over millions of years. Its mirror-like polish and structural integrity make it a favorite for high-traffic luxury applications, including sleek kitchen islands and dramatic wall cladding.
