About 524 million years ago, the region now known as Espírito Santo was undergoing intense transformations associated with the formation of Gondwana. During this period, dark magmas rose from deep within the Earth and settled within the crust. Over millions of years, this magma remained buried and cooled slowly, forming the crystals that gave rise to Preto São Gabriel and its characteristic black color and crystalline texture.
Over the course of hundreds of millions of years, crustal movement and erosion removed the Earth's upper layers, gradually exposing this ancient formation.
Quarried in Espírito Santo, Preto São Gabriel combines strength, depth, and elegance, with each block carrying a history of approximately 524 million years that began deep within the Earth.
Finish: Polished, brushed, honed, sandblasted, and others.
Recommended applications: Exterior and interior spaces, countertops, flooring, tables, bathrooms, kitchens, and barbecue areas
