What to Expect When Buying Brazilian Black Riven Slate
Brazilian Black Riven Slate is a completely natural stone with genuine variation in colour, markings and riven texture. Pieces can vary across black, charcoal and grey tones, with some appearing cleaner and plainer and others showing stronger natural characteristics such as two-tone colouring, banding, blotching, mineral areas or heavier riven texture.
As a general guide, Brazilian Black Riven Slate typically consists of around 60% of the more familiar black, charcoal and grey appearance, 20% plainer pieces and 20% more distinctive pieces. This is intended as an overall guide only and is not a guaranteed ratio within every individual order. More distinctive pieces are a minority, but it is completely normal for some to be included.
Every order is checked before dispatch and we aim to provide a balanced mixture from the stock available. We also check for genuine quality issues such as cracks, splitting or damage. Individual pieces are not selected or matched by colour, markings, pattern or texture.
Please read our Brazilian Black Slate Characteristics Guide before ordering. It contains real examples of the natural variation found within the material and is designed to help you understand what Brazilian Black Riven Slate can look like before you buy.
The photographs shown are intended to provide the best representation of what you can expect to receive. However, Brazilian slate is a natural product with millions of unique variations, meaning no two slabs are exactly alike. The images should therefore be used as a guide only, and the slabs you receive will have their own individual appearance.
