A glance at the deep black night sky describes the timeless elegance of this African granite. Unrivalled in its color depth, it is the symbol of absolute black. Nero Assoluto Zimbabwe is available in different grain sizes: from fine grained and especially dark to medium grained and slightly lighter. The appropriate quality and price category for every project idea can be found, making the material appropriate for a particularly wide range of applications. The character of the Nero Assoluto Zimbabwe is profound, mysterious, timeless and modern, and it can be seamlessly integrated into almost any environment.

Depending on the chosen finish, the material shows different surface structures ; from smooth, over silky to rough. The various finishes influence also the color of the material. For example polished slabs show a deep black, whereas the sandblasted finish gives the material a slightly lighter appearance.
