Khammam Black Granite.
Khammam Black Granite is a dense, uniform jet-black stone quarried from Khammam district in Telangana — one of the significant black granite production zones of South India, offering a consistent deep black colour and excellent surface finish quality.
About Black
Khammam Black Granite is quarried from the Khammam district of Telangana, within the Eastern Ghats geological belt, where mafic Precambrian intrusives produce the dense, uniform black matrix. Khammam district is a well-established black granite production zone and has supplied export-grade black stone to international markets for several decades. The stone is processed to gangsaw slabs and calibrated tiles at Telangana and Andhra Pradesh units. FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva. Origin and specifications verified by Gemarix.
Geological Profile
Khammam Black is a fine-to-medium grained mafic gabbro to dolerite dominated by augite pyroxene, labradorite plagioclase feldspar, hornblende, and accessory magnetite and ilmenite. The dense, uniform black matrix reflects the high pyroxene and hornblende content with very low lighter mineral phases. Near-zero porosity — the result of the tightly interlocked crystalline fabric — makes the stone inherently impermeable and frost-resistant. The stone's mechanical properties place it among the hardest and most durable black granites available from South India.
Color & Character
Khammam Black Granite presents a uniform, deep jet-black surface with a very fine crystalline texture that is essentially invisible to the naked eye. The stone is pure black in all practical terms, with no visible mineral variation, veining, or pattern. On polished surfaces, the black field achieves high reflectivity approaching a mirror finish — the stone's quality visible in the clarity and depth of the polished plane. Distinguished from Absolute Black by its quarry of origin, the stone is otherwise comparable in appearance and performance.
Best Applications
Memorials & Monuments
Khammam Black's consistent jet-black colour, fine grain, and durable polish make it a primary memorial and monument stone, well established in the international memorial market.
Kitchen Countertops
Near-zero porosity and extreme hardness make Khammam Black a practical, stain-resistant kitchen worktop that requires minimal maintenance and delivers a striking black aesthetic.
Wall Cladding
Polished Khammam Black panels create high-impact black feature walls in hospitality lobbies, residential interiors, and commercial reception areas.
Flooring
Honed Khammam Black provides excellent slip resistance and uniform dark colour for high-traffic commercial floors and luxury residential applications.
Exterior Facades
High compressive strength and frost resistance make the stone suitable for exterior building cladding, column wraps, and entrance step applications.
Bathroom Surfaces
Polished vanity tops and shower wall cladding in Khammam Black create dramatic, low-maintenance dark bathroom environments.

Care & Maintenance
Khammam Black Granite requires minimal maintenance due to its near-zero porosity. An impregnating sealer at installation is recommended for kitchen and bathroom use. The polished black surface shows water marks easily — dry promptly after cleaning. Use pH-neutral stone cleaner and avoid abrasive products that could micro-scratch the polished finish. The high-gloss polish is durable under normal conditions.
