Indian Black Pearl Granite

Description: A medium to coarse-grained syenite with a touch of green. This stone internationally may be nominated as a granite however in the area of application of the European Standard (EN) this stone must be nominated as syenite.

Syenite: Syenite is a coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock of the same general composition as granite but with the quartz either absent or present in relatively small amounts (<5%). The feldspar component of syenite is predominantly alkaline in character (usually orthoclase). Plagioclase feldspars may be present in small quantities, less than 10%.
