Granite Memorial Heart

Granite Memorial Heart – Timeless Tribute in Natural Black Stone

Crafted from durable granite, the Granite Memorial Heart is a timeless way to honor and remember your loved one. Its lasting quality and elegant design make it a fitting tribute to their memory.

In 1962, after South Africa's deep black was exported from South Africa to Italy for the first time, this granite memorial heart was called Nero Assoluto, which was translated as pure black by the Italians. Other names to choose from are: South African Ebony, South African Black and Prairie. Many granites produced in South Africa are rich in small mineral particles, so that they look very similar to Cambrian black produced in Canada, and those relatively dark rocks have some mineral crystals, shining with star-like silvery white light.

🖤 Origin & Quality of Black Granite

Since the 1860s, black granite has been mined from various regions including Italy, Angola, China, India, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. These stones are often referred to under the trade name Nero Assoluto, though their characteristics can vary widely depending on origin.

When selecting a Granite Memorial Heart, it's essential to be aware of its source and authenticity:

• Black granite from China, while popular for its lower price point, may sometimes contain impurities or inconsistent coloration.
• Some unauthorized manufacturers may use petroleum-based dyes or coloring agents to hide natural flaws—leading to eventual fading or discoloration.

⚠️ How to Detect Dyed Granite

To ensure you are investing in genuine, undyed granite, you can perform a simple test:

1 . Take a clean cloth.

2 . Pour a small amount of acetone onto the surface of the granite.

3 . Wipe gently and observe.

If the cloth picks up any black residue, it likely indicates that the surface has been artificially colored.

Only correct polishing, not dyeing, enhances the granite’s natural beauty. Fading occurs when dye or oil wears off—not from true granite craftsmanship.

🔍 Buyer Tip: What to Watch Out For
