Black Taurus is a visually arresting exotic granite quarried from the mineral-rich landscapes of Brazil. This high-contrast stone is defined by a deep, obsidian-like background violently interrupted by sweeping, fluid waves of intense gold, rust, and ivory quartz. Often compared to Magma Gold, it is distinguished by its darker, more profound black matrix. Geologically, it is frequently classified as a gneiss, a metamorphic rock whose banded texture reveals the immense tectonic pressures that shaped it over millennia. This robust composition ensures exceptional resistance to heat and scratches, making it a premier choice for dramatic statement islands and feature walls.
Each slab of Black Taurus in lot 1 measures about 124″ × 72″. This is 2 cm brown, grey, and gold granite quarried in Brazil with a leather finish, and 2 slabs are available at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 124″ × 72″, about 62 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is brown, grey, and gold. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. This material is recorded as quarried in Brazil.
The leather finish is lightly textured, with a softer look than a full polish. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.
In the yard
Lot 1 at our Los Angeles yard shows 2 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 2 slabs available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.
The slabs can be compared in daylight at our Los Angeles yard before anything is cut.
Where it works
For this kind of stone, the usual applications are kitchen countertops, vanities, and floors. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed. Inspiration photos show this stone in an Outdoor Kitchen and a Kitchen.
The material
Granite is an igneous rock quarried around the world. It is built mostly from quartz, feldspar, and mica, and it is one of the harder stones used on counters. It stands up to heat, scratches, and everyday moisture better than most marble. A uniform color stays close from slab to slab, while a veined granite should still be matched inside the lot before it is cut. A honed face looks matte, a polish looks reflective, and a leather or brushed face feels lightly textured. Ask the fabricator whether this finish should be sealed.
