Black Pearl Granite brings character to any space. It is a natural stone formed from cooled magma, prized for its hardness and everyday durability. Expect black hues with noticeable natural movement across the surface. It is also sold as Opalescence, Amazon Black or Brazillian Black.
Look and Character
Every slab of Black Pearl 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 polished finish.
Best Uses
Black Pearl 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.
