Negro Zimbabwe
Zimbawe
It is the darkest of the granites we work with. Of African origin and, like most of the black granites, it is very demanded in polished and satin finish for kitchen countertops. Its intense black color with small shiny motifs gives it an almost velvety appearance.

Finishes
Leather
Surface treated from the sawn material. It consists of passing the slabs through a brushing process using diamond bristles with which a rough and smooth surface is achieved.
Aged
Treated surface equal to flamed and subsequently going through a brushing process, giving a rough and smooth result.
Polished
Completely smooth and shiny finish achieved by abrading the surface of the material and applying waxes. This is the most requested finish for countertops, because of its ease of cleaning and disinfection. By closing the pores, greater resistance to external agents is obtained.
Applications
Interior and exterior claddings, furniture, countertops, funerary art, etc.
