Grading the Stone

Granite is natural, but export quality is strictly graded.

  • First Choice (Premium): Consistent color, no veins (unless it's a movement stone), no visible pits. Perfect for countertops.
  • Standard (Commercial): Minor color variation or a small black spot (mole). Good for large floors.
  • Second Choice: Visible hairline cracks, large color blobs, or filled pits. Sold cheap for cutting into small tiles.

At Ruvello, we only export First Choice materials like Black Galaxy Q1.
