Shanxi Black
Origin: China (Shanxi Province)
Material: Natural granite / monzonite (dense, exterior grade)
Shanxi Black is a premium deep-black program stone with a fine, controlled grain and a very formal appearance. It is widely used in memorial production where partners need a consistent “black look”, strong polish quality, and reliable outdoor performance for repeat programs.
Visual Character (Color & Pattern)
Tone: deep black to near-black
Pattern activity: low; may show subtle mineral movement depending on lot
Texture: fine to fine–medium grain; reads clean on large faces (ideal for premium monuments)
Finishing Behavior
Polished / Gloss (recommended): maximum depth and mirror-like sheen; strongest premium presentation on uprights and display pieces
Honed / Matte (if specified): reduced glare for bases/sides; more architectural and understated
Engraving & Readability
Best results on polished inscription panels for crisp lettering and portraits.
Because the stone is visually uniform, it supports high-contrast layouts and clean spacing.
Recommended Applications (Memorial / B2B)
Uprights, slants, ledgers, bases, multi-piece sets
Premium and “formal black” programs where consistent appearance and polish are key
Why It Works for Partners (B2B)
High-demand black segment (easy to sell across markets)
Showroom value: polished black photographs and displays strongly
Program repeatability: controlled look supports repeat orders and matching sets
