• Description

  Namibia Black Granite, also widely recognized in China as Xuanwu Black Granite, is a premium natural stone celebrated for its deep, rich black color and subtle crystalline texture. Sourced primarily from the mineral-rich regions of Namibia, this granite is prized for its durability, elegant appearance, and versatility across architectural and interior design applications.

  Predominantly jet black with fine speckles of white, grey, and occasionally silver quartz or feldspar minerals, creating a sophisticated, starry-night effect.

  Available in various finishes—polished (high-gloss), honed (matte), brushed, or flamed—each enhancing its unique aesthetic:

  While named after its origin in Namibia, this granite is commonly referred to as Xuanwu Black in the Chinese market—a name derived from the mythical "Black Tortoise" (Xuanwu), one of the Four Symbols in Chinese cosmology associated with the north and stability. This naming reflects its dark hue and strong, enduring nature.
