Indian Jet Black Granite
Slab
Slab A Slab B Slab C
Indian Jet Black Granite is a deep, pitch-black natural granite quarried in India, with a dense, consistent colour and no visible veining. Available in both polished and honed finishes, the polished surface reflects light with a mirror-like clarity, while the honed finish gives a softer matte black with a contemporary feel.

Its uniform black tone is what makes it so versatile. It sits comfortably alongside warm timber cabinetry, crisp white joinery and stainless steel, and works as well in a classic scheme as a modern one. Across a large surface, it reads as a solid block of colour, and up close, the polished finish reveals a subtle depth.

As a granite, it is hard, around 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, and highly resistant to heat, scratches and moisture. Its exceptional density means very low porosity, so unlike lighter granites, it rarely needs sealing. It does not etch from acidic spills the way marble does, which makes it a practical choice for a working kitchen.

Best for: kitchen benchtops, bathroom vanities, bar tops, flooring and exterior cladding.

Indian Jet Black pairs well with brushed brass, matte black tapware and light joinery for contrast. It performs indoors and outdoors, standing up to weather without fading. Come and see the honed and polished slabs side by side at our Greenacre or Beresfield showroom, since photos never capture the difference.
