Cambrian Black Granite

Black Granite

Cambrian Black granite is quarried from several different quarries in Canada (Polycor & Granicor). It's been quarried for almost 50 years!

This natural stone stands out from all of the other black granites because of its rice like grain structure. In North America, GRANICOR markets the darkest shade of this stone under the name Ste-Foy.

Cambrian Black is used as a construction stone and also as an ornamental stone on interiors and exteriors.
