What Agata Black Granite looks like
Dense, parallel wavy bands of silver gray cross the black background diagonally. The contrast is high and the slab in the photo is polished, with gloss. From one end of that slab to the other, the pattern barely changes. Agata Black is a trade name: this is not agate.

Finishes for Agata Black
On a banded black, the finish decides how much the surface shines and how much fingerprints show on the polish.
-
Polished
The one in the photo: a mirror gloss on the black, where fingerprints and water drops show.
-
Leathered
A textured surface with no mirror gloss: on a polished black, fingerprints and everyday water drops show less.
-
Honed
Takes away the mirror gloss of a polished finish and leaves the surface matte and smooth.
-
Flamed
A rough surface for outdoors and pool edges: with water on it, the surface is less slippery underfoot than polished.

Questions about Agata Black Granite
Does Agata Black work for a kitchen countertop?
Yes: in a kitchen, granite is the most forgiving stone. It takes the heat of a pot, everyday scratches and kitchen acids. Countertop or island: wherever you cook, this granite takes more than marble, which is softer.
How do I tell Agata Black apart from Matrix granite?
The photos of both show a black stone with a diagonal pattern. In its photo, Matrix granite carries long golden streaks; in yours, Agata Black carries dense, parallel silver-gray bands. Before you buy, we send you photos of the slabs available for your order.
Does Agata Black need sealer?
As a dark granite it usually absorbs less than light ones, which are the ones that ask for sealer most. On a kitchen countertop it is still worth sealing, because its stain resistance is high with sealer. Drop water on the black: if the stone darkens where it fell, it needs sealer. To clean, a damp cloth with neutral soap is enough, no concentrated bleach.
What sets it apart from Star Galaxy granite?
In its photo, Star Galaxy granite carries small golden dots that sparkle on the black. In yours, Agata Black gathers its silver gray into wavy bands that run on the diagonal. Dots against bands: the slab photos make it clear.
