Black Diamond Granite is a natural stone formed from cooled magma, prized for its hardness and everyday durability. Its palette features black and white tones with soft, subtle movement. It is also sold as Negresco.
Look and Character
Every slab of Black Diamond is unique, with natural variations in color and pattern, so we recommend viewing full slabs before choosing your material. It is available here in a leathered finish.
Best Uses
Black Diamond Granite is well suited to kitchen countertops, islands, bathroom vanities, bar tops and backsplashes, and it is a strong choice for outdoor kitchens. It pairs beautifully with white, light gray or warm wood cabinetry for contrast.
Care and Maintenance
Granite resists heat and scratches. Clean it with mild soap and water, wipe up spills promptly and reseal periodically to protect it against stains.

Does Granite need to be sealed?
Yes. Most granite should be sealed every 1 to 2 years, though some dense, dark granites need it less often.
How does Black Diamond Granite compare with quartz?
