Indian Black Marcino Granite: A Black Granite with White Veins

On granite stone surfaces, you will find some long, meandering lines of a particular color. These lines are called veining that crisscross natural stone. Interestingly, veining is one of the most looked-for characteristics that make a granite stone organic, elegant, and unanimous choice. In geological terms, veins are crystallized mineral sheets found inside a rock. Veins can be of different width sizes and may have numerous branches.

Crack-seal growth and open-space filling are two prime types of vein categories. The former one occurs quickly at higher pressures. This vein category gives birth to large open space. On the other hand, the latter one is concerned with the occurrence at relatively low pressures. Asymmetrical veins (having layers of different material on either side) and banded veins (having layers of diverse minerals laying parallel to the walls) are also other types in which you can categorize veins.

There is also another way to observe veins over the surface of a stone slab. This veining pattern depends upon the way a tile or slab is cut. Here, vein-cut and cross-cut stones are two broader types of vein-cutting. If a stone is cut against the vein, it belongs to the former type. When the stone is cut with the vein, this pattern belongs to the latter type. The best part of cross-cut stones is that it makes veins look like swirls than lines. Indian Black Granite with white veins is such a perfect stone type that it makes a big difference.
