Granite slab - Natural igneous stone
Antique Black Granite Granite
Antique Black Granite is a natural granite slab from ST Stones. Granite is an igneous rock, formed under heat and pressure over millions of years. Every slab is unique - the veining, mineral inclusions, and color variation are natural and will differ slightly between slabs of the same name. Granite slabs are typically ~110-120 inches long and 55-78 inches tall (roughly 55-75 sqft per slab). At ST Stones' yard you can view the actual slab(s) for your project before they're cut.
About Antique Black Granite
Antique Black Granite granite - what to know
Character
How Antique Black Granite reads in a kitchen
Antique Black Granite is a deep dark granite with the maximum drama of any natural stone. Black granites read dense and grounded; pair with white or light cabinetry for high contrast, or with dark wood cabinetry for a moody monochrome read.
South Florida fit
Why granite works in our climate
Granite is one of the most durable countertop choices for a Palm Beach County kitchen. It's a true natural igneous stone, highly heat-resistant (you can set a hot pan directly on it), scratch-resistant from daily kitchen use, and well suited to South Florida humidity. Antique Black Granite should be sealed at installation and re-sealed every 1-2 years to keep the surface stain-resistant against oil, wine, and citrus.
Pairings
Cabinetry, hardware, and design context
Antique Black Granite pairs with most South Florida cabinet palettes. Bring your cabinet and floor samples to the in-home consultation - we'll lay them next to a Antique Black Granite sample under your actual kitchen lighting before any final commitment. Real granite reads dramatically different under cool LED kitchen light vs warm incandescent vs south-facing daylight, so in-person review is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Antique Black Granite
Does Antique Black Granite need to be sealed?
Yes - granite is a natural stone (unlike engineered quartz) and should be sealed at installation and re-sealed every 1-2 years to keep the surface stain-resistant. A standard impregnating sealer is the right choice; we'll walk through care during your consultation.
Is Antique Black Granite heat-resistant?
Yes - granite is one of the most heat-resistant countertop options. You can set a hot pan directly on the surface without damage. (We still recommend trivets for very long heat exposure - extreme thermal shock over a small area can theoretically crack any stone.)
Will I get the exact slab I see in this photo?
Granite is natural stone - every slab is unique. The photo shows one example of the Antique Black Granite pattern; your actual slab may vary in veining, mineral inclusion, and tone. We always recommend visiting ST Stones' yard with us to pick your specific slab before fabrication so the figure and tone match your kitchen.
