Originating in Angola, Nero Infinito recalls the cosmic tones: Thousands of greyish sparks against a background of complete black remind us of the millions of stars illuminating the void of cosmos. The depth of Nero Infinito reflects the infinite size of the cosmos.

 

Medium-grained labradorite and feldspar make up the Negro Angola granite. This stone becomes a thing of almost perfect beauty as light reflects off of its crystalline surface. Negro Angola has thousands of variations and uses while having a seemingly simplistic form. In comparison to white and beige units, it shines out as a worktop in bathrooms and kitchens. It pops out especially in contrast to yellows and soft greens. When used as flooring, it complements both traditional smooth walls with an edge and transgressive ones. Intense deep blue colours or vibrant fuchsias will find their ideal counterpoints in the artistic harmony created by this beautiful granite.

Composition of Granite

Granite is a coarse-grained, light-coloured igneous rock composed of feldspars and quartz with minor quantities of mica and amphibole minerals. Taking a closer look at the mineral composition is focused on understanding the pattern and colour of the slabs. Feldspar is abundantly found in granite, they constitute pink, grey, or reddish pigments. Quartz is a colourless, transparent mineral. Mica has muscovite and biotite of the mica mineral family sheds a reflective vitreous luster. Amphibole mineral-like hornblende is dark in colour and has a prismatic appearance. Special names are given according to their grain sizes. The large-grained crystals are called pegmatite, and the fine-grained from crystallizing is termed Aplite.
