Black Forest Gold

Black Forest Gold aka Titanium, a stunning natural stone from Brazil which is in great demand for counter tops & feature wall panels all over the world. Whilst classified as a Granite in the industry this stone is a type of Schist, one of the so called “new” Granites that have been extracted in recent years. These types of Granites are made up of a mixture of hard Quartz, which polishes to a high level, to softer Mica which does do not reach the same level of polish. Hence the varied appearance you see in the way light reflects off the surface and edges of these types of stone. Also they are generally a little softer in nature than your more traditional types of monumental Granites, so a little more care has to be taken when placing very hard and sharp objects against the surface of this stone. With its varying shades of deep blacks in the background which is intersected by small to very large swirls of transparent like, white to quartz coloured crystals randomly weaving their way through the stone. You will also find scatterings of very fine sparkling grains of silver to gold coloured mica. A stunning stone that has been very popular in recent times, used as a darker contrast in classic white kitchen or contemporary darker moody designs.
