Black galaxy granite was initially known as star galaxy granite and is popular all over the world today. The reason it has this name is the material that is used in it which gives a black background effect with tiny golden specks in it. It is used to give an extravagant look to the homes and is usually seen being used commercially. It can only be found in small tiles that are used for flooring and countertops as well.

Black galaxy granite is mostly seen being used on countertops of kitchens as they are of hard quality and can survive under the usage as a countertop. The characteristic of such a stone is that it has a very glossy look to it self and seems to be polished at all times. A very fine contrast to the silver crockery used in kitchens, this type of a tile is a classic example of beauty in the kitchen.
