The Grey Granite Memorial Stone is a perfect blend of timeless elegance and lasting durability. Widely used in headstones, monuments, and memorial applications, this type of granite is highly regarded for its subtle beauty and resilience.

While black granite is often perceived as high-end and premium, not all dark-colored stones are created equal. In many markets, there is a growing trend of mislabeling low-end materials as high-quality granite, which can lead to overpriced purchases. Understanding the difference is essential to making an informed decision.

🪨 Granite vs. Basalt: What’s the Difference?

From a petrological perspective, not every dark stone qualifies as true granite. Some are actually basalt, a type of extrusive igneous rock.

• Basalt forms during volcanic activity when lava rapidly cools and solidifies. Its color is typically darker, with uniformly fine mineral particles.
• Despite its differences, basalt is often marketed under names like "grey granite memorial stone" for commercial convenience.

The result? Many customers unknowingly purchase basalt at granite prices, unaware of the distinctions in durability, polishability, and long-term value.

⚠️ Common Misconceptions About Black and Grey Granite Memorial Stones

1 . All Pure Black Granite Is the Same
This is a myth. There are significant variations in quality, texture, origin, and price. For instance, the famous Sutareboda black granite from Sweden, known as Ebony Wood, is exceptionally hard and durable. It produces a metallic "clang" when struck and is considered one of the most premium black granites available.

2 . Low-End Materials Marketed as High-End Granite
Many black or grey stones used in kitchen countertops or memorial stones are not true granite, despite being labeled as such. Without expert analysis, it's easy to be misled into paying more for a lower-quality product.
