## Questions

### How do I choose the actual Shanxi Black Granite slabs?

Ask for photos of the slabs available. We send each slab numbered and measured, so you approve the exact slabs before anything is cut or shipped.

### Can Shanxi Black Granite be book-matched?

Book-matching shows best on veined stone. This stone has little vein movement, so slabs are usually laid in sequence instead.

### Can Shanxi Black Granite be used outdoors?

Yes, with a flamed or bush-hammered finish for grip. Check frost resistance for cold climates.
