Is absolute black granite real granite?

Yes, Absolute Black Granite is considered a real granite, though geologically it is often classified more accurately as a gabbro or basalt, depending on its mineral composition. Despite this, in the stone industry, Absolute Black Granite is commercially marketed and widely accepted as granite due to its similar hardness, durability, and application properties.

🔹 Why It's Called Granite in the Market
