Blue is difficult to find in nature. So, it was shocking for me to find a granite that was utterly blue. It has long striations that add to the aesthetic value. Patterns in Vizag Blue Granite can add flow to the countertop. Hard and resistant to stains. Not very excessive when you consider the additional surface treatment it has. It might be difficult to find a dealer, but we can help you out here.

Black galaxy granite is a common granite in India. That doesn’t mean it’s too bland for our taste. Black galaxy granite is pitch black in base with golden crystals ranging in size from a few millimetres to even two centimetres. This granite is aptly named. If it is dark outside, it looks as though you are looking to space.
Black galaxy granite can also be leathered, but it loses its distinctive crystals to an extent.

2. Aster White Granite
Alaskan white granite is famous for its wonderful pattern, but a major drawback of Alaskan granites is that they are not firm and have to be reinforced with resin. Indian Aster white granite is the only white granite which is firm despite having such beautiful designs making it the best of both worlds. Therefore, this granite has earned the number two spot on our list.
This granite is much more chemical and stain-resistant when compared to other white granites. Even though it is white, it is relatively non-porous. However, we still advise you to seal it. It is also much harder. This granite is our first recommendations if you want to use white granite.
