Royal Black

Über Royal Black

Royal Black (BELGAUM BLACK, ROYAL BLACK) is a Precambrian gabbro quarried at Belgaum (modern Belagavi), Karnataka, India. DNSA #6012 (BELGAUM BLACK = ROYAL BLACK): fine- to medium-grained, predominantly directionless, Gabbro/Tiefengesteine, Precambrian. Available, occasionally used in Germany. No quantitative technical data from DNSA. Note: SC s9329 (China/Inner Mongolia) and SC s5357 (Australia) also use 'Royal Black' as a trade name for unrelated stones. Identity here follows DNSA's link to the Indian Belgaum gabbro.
