FEATURES OF BLACK CRISTAL GRANITE
- Minimum of micro-cracks. Vast majority of Ukrainian labradorite quarries had been developed during Soviet Union times, when stone mining was mainly performed by blasting method. Due to this reason, the rock massif that carries labradorite blocks up till nowadays is full of open cracks and hair-cracks. Black Cristal quarry was developed from scratch in 2014 using modern technology and Italian equipment, avoiding applying explosives. Due to this reason, the problem of cracks is minimized in this material. .
- Absence of corrosion. Many Ukrainian labradorites, including classic Blue Eyes, contain large amounts of iron. This causes the phenomenon of corrosive spots appearing on the surface of tiles, especially when used outdoors. In Black Cristal, the content of iron is minimal, thus there is no problem of rust spots in it.
- Ideal stone for manufacturing of memorial products. Intense black background color, moderate iridescence and absence of rust makes this material a perfect option for production of monuments and extended memorial complexes.
