The Black Galaxy granite has a black background with gold colored specks in it. The gold specks are due to the presence of ferrous rich Enstatine (Bronzite). The technical geological name for this granite is Gabbric Anorthosite. The material has a hardness of around 4.5 on the Moh's scale which can be termed as moderately hard. The material takes on a very good polish. The ideal use of this material is in interior applications.

Black Galaxy quarries are located in a village by the name of Chimmakurthi in Ongole district in the State of Andhra Pradesh in India. The location is about 350 km north of Chennai. One can reach the quarries by road in around 5 to 6 hours or by a convenient train from Chennai (around 6 hours) to Ongole, and then on to the mining areas by road. There are around 40 quarries spread over 400 acres of land. The sizes of the quarries range between 2 and 20 acres each. The quarries are quite mechanized. The equipment in the quarries has been constantly updated and it is common to find the latest mining machinery in operation in the quarries.

Black Galaxy granite is strange in the world of natural stone in that it doesn’t need to be sealed. It is very dense and doesn’t absorb much at all. If a sealer is applied, it will not be absorbed into the surface and may cause streaking or a hazy finish on the surface. Spills will not necessarily absorb and stain immediately, but they still need to be wiped up as soon as possible.
