🔍 Key Considerations When Selecting Honed Black Granite:

The quality of the block used in crafting a honed black granite headstone plays a crucial role in both appearance and performance. To ensure a high yield rate and long-term structural integrity, the granite should be:

• Free from cracks, scars, or color lines
• Made from blocks with low water absorption
• Possessing stable physical and chemical properties
• Uniform in crystallization and grain structure

While block size impacts production efficiency less than processed plates, using granite blocks of a consistent size and tone ensures visual harmony across the surface of the headstone.

🛠️ Processing of Honed Black Granite Headstones:

Due to their custom shapes and variable sizes, honed granite headstones require precise, manual processing techniques rather than automated assembly lines. The process includes:

1 . Initial Cutting:
Using diamond circular saws or hand cutters to outline the headstone. For intricate shapes, diamond wire saws are employed.

2 . Shaping and Chamfering:
Manual stone machines like multi-functional grinders are used to carve curves, grooves, and edges.

3 . Grinding and Smoothing:
Large surfaces are polished using hand grinders, while smaller areas and curved sections require fine grinding with specialized tools.

4 . Final Polishing:
Achieves the signature honed finish—softly matte, not glossy—suitable for inscriptions and design carvings.

5 . Detail Engraving:
Inscriptions, artwork, or symbols are etched or carved into the surface for a personal touch.
