• Aesthetics: Deep gray to black, supporting modern, minimalist architectural designs.

• Best Uses: High-traffic outdoor paving, landscaping, structural wall cladding, pool copings, and industrial flooring.

• Characteristics: Extremely high density (approx. 2.5 to 2.9 g/cm³); Hardness of 6-7 on the Mohs scale; Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) frequently exceeding 100 MPa; exceptionally low water absorption.
