What Gives Dark Brits Granite Its Colour
Dark Brits takes its name from the Brits region of South Africa, where this deep charcoal granite is quarried. It reads as an almost-black stone with a warmer, more understated character than pure black, and takes a fine polish that suits both carved and etched designs.
Why Choose Dark Brits Granite?
Dark Brits suits families who want the formality of a dark stone with a slightly softer, warmer character than pure black. Its deep charcoal tone is dignified and understated.
The dark surface gives strong contrast for silver, white and gold lettering and for laser etching, and is a particularly handsome background for carved roses and wedding-band artwork.
Best Design Options for Dark Brits Granite
Dark Brits works beautifully with carved roses, wedding bands, silver or gold lettering and laser etched designs. Its deep tone makes pale lettering and frosted artwork stand out.
Because the stone is dark and even, simple, confident designs read best, with one carved or etched element carrying the memorial.
Dark Brits vs Black Granite: How to Choose
Both are dark, formal stones. Black granite is a pure, uniform black, while Dark Brits is a deep charcoal that reads slightly warmer and more understated. Choose black for the starkest, most formal look and Dark Brits for a dark stone with a softer character. Compare them across our upright headstones.
