Known for its large crystal structure and luminescence, Saint Henry Black is an ideal material for kitchens because of it's marriage of durability and bold yet subtle look and feel - a little flash but never over the top. The secret behind this just-right balance of sparkle and shine is in the stone’s mega crystals.
At Latera, we call it Saint Henry Black but it’s also known as Taillon, Péribonka and Canadian Black. You’ll be able to identify this stone by it’s smooth crystalline composition and thin silvery veins that are exposed by black textured graining. It captures and throws light in a manner that’s pleasing to the eye, but not overwhelming. Walk from one end of the counter to the other and you’ll see a mini light show thanks to the varying shapes, sizes and positions of the crystals embedded deep within the stone. Because it’s a bit subdued, using a Saint Henry Black granite in the kitchen gives you that wow-factor with a slightly more relaxed aesthetic.
