Black Pearl by Levantina Granite

Black Pearl is a black, green granite material that comes in a leather & polished texture. It is supplied to Polish Granite by Levantina company specialising in stone slab production.

Why Black Pearl is the perfect material for stone kitchen worktops?

Sturdiness, longevity and incredible heat resistance define granite worktops. Granite is a natural, volcanic rock full of compressed, melted and cooled down minerals that imbue this material with the renowned toughness. This is predominantly why granite is utilised for kitchen worktops, where cooking is constant and a threat of potential damage always looming.

With black, green Black Pearl granite kitchen worktops, you won’t have to worry about scratches or indents – even the sharpest knives cannot impact the integrity of granite. The same applies for intense heat. Granite can withstand even the highest temperatures, so the worktop can easily work as a stand for that boiling pot of soup or the red-hot oven dish, with no damage inflicted.

If regularly impregnated, the mottled Black Pearl granite worktops also become water resistant. That means they will never warp, unlike wood or laminate worktops, nor stain or discolour. In almost every way, kitchen granite worktops are superior surfaces that aren’t only beautiful (as the sample above signifies), but are also functional tools that provide aid in the everyday kitchen life. Polish Granite are here to customise and adapt your natural stone into virtually any project. The possibilities for granite uses are infinite – this applies both to indoor and outdoor designs.

What thicknesses are available for Black Pearl?

The slabs of Black Pearl by Levantina are available in 20mm or 30mm thicknesses. This stone material depth is ideal for multiple applications. From big projects like kitchen worktops, paving, flooring & wall cladding to smaller installations of coffee tabletops, dining tables or windowsills. Surfaces of this depth are manufactured in bespoke fashion, tailor-made to complete even the most demanding projects.

What makes Black Pearl so unique?

Product colour description:

Black materials, like Black Pearl by Levantina above, are extremely popular in the quartz and granite worktops industry. Primarily because this is a universal colour. Black brilliantly contrasts white & green cabinets or grey floors. It is a colour that emboldens your kitchen and manifests the strength inherent to this stone product. Black resembles depth, a crevice, a black hole. It’s a deceptive colour that seems plain, drab and intimidating in our minds, but when applied to a piece of furniture it inspires a sense of awe and wonder.

The green hued Black Pearl granite is guaranteed to fill any given living space with vitality and a relaxing aura. If your home is rich in vegetation or otherwise bereft of it, we strongly recommend incorporating this stone as a kitchen worktop material. It fabulously complements any setting and bestows it with a calm, cheerful charm. The green + cream, white, light grey or black are our preferred contemporary colour combinations.

Material structure & composition:

Mottled patterns are a common feature on our stone product spectrum. Such is the Black Pearl material above, filled with speckles that disperse over the surface in irregular fashion, providing the worktop some depth and intricacy. Mottled stone products, whether man-made or organic, fit a whole range of spaces. But above all those traditional pubs or cottage-like interiors steeped with history and organic motifs.

Material recommended for:

• Traditional or historic spaces,
• Chopping boards,
• Fireplace surrounds.

What textures/finishes is this product supplied in?

The black, green Black Pearl is finished in a ‘leather’ texture. The name is trademarked by Levantina to essentially mean ‘honed’ or polished but in a coarse way. This means the surface of the granite isn’t jagged, uneven or sharp. It is more reminiscent of stone tiles that inlay old-town roads i.e. still bumpy and rough, yet lightly polished by the brushing of treaded feet over time. Leather texture on granite worktops is a fantastic addition to traditional kitchens. Also great for flooring or bathroom cladding.

The black, green Black Pearl by Levantina can be supplied in a ‘polished’ texture. This means a scintillating gloss that beautifully reflects the light and highlights the true colours & pigments embedded within the product. The polished texture is one of the most popular surface finishes, mostly present among quartz worktops and granite worktops, although ceramic suppliers also adopt this finish for their stone slabs. These surfaces are easy to clean and prevent all liquid absorption.
