Indian Black Galaxy granite is a durable, mostly black igneous rock with a deep background and sparkling golden-white flecks, originating from quarries in Andhra Pradesh, India. It is known for its unique "starry" appearance and is suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications, such as countertops, vanities, flooring, and facades. Its hardness, durability, and resistance to heat and weathering make it a popular and long-lasting choice for both residential and commercial projects.
