Shanxi Black Granite Ι Tri Streams Stone

Under the magic of nature, a kind of granite called Shanxi Black was born. This stone has won wide acclaim in the construction industry for its unique color, hard texture and excellent physical properties. As a treasure of traditional Chinese building materials, Shanxi Black Granite not only enjoys a high reputation in China, but also has won a high reputation in the international market. This page will give you a detailed introduction to the origin, characteristics, uses and market evaluation of Shanxi Black Granite, so that you can fully understand this natural wonder.

Origin 

Shanxi Black Granite is produced in Hunyuan County, Shanxi Province, China. It is one of the seven major coalfields in Shanxi and has rich granite resources. It is also known as Emperor Black, Taibai Qing, Diabase, etc. Its veins are distributed linearly from Fengzhen City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, through Datong Mountain Area to Fuping County, Hebei Province, with a total length of nearly 1,000 meters. The rock mass of the mine is stable, the size of the mineable blocks is large, and the reserves are large, which provides unique conditions for the mining of Shanxi Black Granite.

The formation of Shanxi black granite is closely related to geological structure. In the long geological age, the earth’s crust has experienced many tectonic movements and magmatic activities, which have caused great changes in the mineral composition and structure of the rock. Under this special geological environment, Shanxi black granite gradually formed a unique deep black color, mainly composed of plagioclase and pyroxene, crystalline fine-grained structure, blocky structure, pure black and shiny.

Excellent characteristics 

• Hardness and wear resistance:

It has extremely high hardness, with a Mohs hardness rating of about 3 (up to 10). This makes it have good wear resistance, which is five to ten times higher than cast iron. Therefore, it is widely used in indoor and outdoor floors, walls and other occasions that need to withstand a lot of wear.

• Thermal stability:

It has a small thermal expansion coefficient and is not easy to deform. Even in high temperature environments, it can maintain stable performance. This feature makes it an ideal choice for building materials such as monuments and inscriptions that need to withstand long-term exposure to the sun and rain.

• Elastic modulus and rigidity:

The elastic modulus of Shanxi black granite is large, higher than cast iron. At the same time, it has good rigidity and a large internal damping coefficient, which is fifteen times greater than that of steel. This allows it to quickly return to its original state when subjected to external forces and has good seismic resistance.

• Chemical stability:

It has stable chemical properties and is not easily weathered. It is resistant to acid, alkali and corrosive gases, which is proportional to the content of silica. Therefore, the service life of Shanxi black granite can reach about 200 years, with extremely high durability.

• Processing performance:

It has good processing performance and can be processed by sawing, cutting, polishing, drilling, carving and other processing methods. Its processing accuracy can reach below 0.5μm and the luminosity can reach more than 1600. This enables Shanxi black granite to meet various complex architectural design and decoration needs.

Wide application

• Tombstones and monuments:

It has become the preferred material for making tombstones and monuments because of its solemn black color and hard texture. In China, many tombstones and monuments of celebrities are made of Shanxi black granite.

• Indoor and outdoor decoration:

It has a deep color and hard texture, and has a good decorative effect. Therefore, it is widely used in indoor and outdoor wall, floor, stairs, window sill and other decoration fields. In interior design, the simple atmosphere and low-key luxury of Shanxi black granite complement each other, adding a unique charm to the space.

• Roller skating rink floor:

It has excellent wear resistance and can withstand a large number of people and friction. Therefore, it is also widely used in roller skating rinks and other occasions that need to withstand a lot of wear.

Market evaluation and future development

Shanxi black granite enjoys a high reputation in the domestic and foreign markets for its excellent performance and wide range of applications. Many well-known buildings and landmark buildings use it as a decorative material. With the continuous improvement of people’s requirements for the quality of building materials, the market demand for Shanxi black granite will continue to grow. At the same time, with the continuous advancement of science and technology and the continuous improvement of processing technology, the application scope of Shanxi black granite will be further expanded, and the market prospects are broad.
