Nari Black
Legendary Force of Nature
Named after the buffalo, Nari Black is a legendary force from the South African nature. It is a unique, weatherproof and robust granite with unlimited possibilities. It has a dark grey to black colour, is coarse-grained and has a homogeneous structure.
Nari Black is economically priced and matches all types of architecture and equipment thanks to its colour, technical characteristics, structure, multiplicity of shapes, finishes and formats.
The Nari Black quarry
The stone blocks originate from our quarry in South Africa. We mine the highest quality stones and transport them to our site. We process our blocks and cut slabs into various thickness and finishes, in-house, using the latest technology.
Applications
A finish for every purpose
Each finish gives the granite a different look: from rough over soft to shiny. Depending on the application, several options can be chosen. By combining different finishes in an interior, you get a beautiful unified look with subtle nuances.
Polished
The surface has a high gloss, reflective finish. The colours and texture are enhanced.

The surface has a high gloss, reflective finish. The colours and texture are enhanced.
Honed
The surface is slightly light reflective, smooth, with a matt finish. No grooves will be visible.
Letano
The soft brushed finish accentuates the natural colour of the material. The sloped surface has a unique “leather touch“ feeling.
Anzano
Anzano slabs are first honed and flamed and then brushed. Anzano is a slightly rough finish which is non-slip but nice to walk on barefoot. The non-slip result still has a beautiful satin shine to it.
Flamed
A flame is directed at the slab which is immediately cooled with water. This causes a thermal shock resulting in the eruption of the grains on the surface. The surface will have rough, more or less glittering grains of irregular shape.
Aquapower
A rough surface is created by using water under high pressure. This guarantees a fine finishing structure and better preservation of the colour of natural stone.
Sawn
Sawn is a rough surface done using a frame saw or a diamond wire. The surface will exhibit saw-cuts, small undulations, and lines.
