Black Marble, <\/strong>such as Negro Marquina, is a very soft limestone often mistaken as a marble. Not recommended for interior flooring. Never use a crystallizer on black marble \u2013 The stone will blister or spall! <\/strong>If honing or polishing, use extreme care not to leave swirls and do not run until the powder has dried. Check frequently \u2013 polishes very quickly!<\/p>\nIf you would like to test your floor or sample of Absolute Black Granite you can use both StoneTech\u2122 Professional Restore\u2122 and StoneTech\u2122 Professional KlenzAll\u2122 for Marble Floor Cleaning as testing liquids.
