Product Description
Nero Impala Black Granite, also known as Nero Africa or Black Impala, is a dark grey natural stone quarried in South Africa. This stone has been used since the 1940's for construction and ornamental uses. Varieties available at several quarries in the Bosspruit region include Impala Light(light grey), Impala Medium, and Impala Dark(dark grey). It's been noted recently that Nero Impala used for flooring has been losing it's polish in a short period of time so it's advisable to use honed tiles for flooring.
