Jet Mist® Granite
AKA VA Mist, VA Black, French Creek
With a limited amount of black granites in the world, Jet Mist® granite is one of our best sellers, in the U.S. and internationally. Its color is unique, as it is not a flat black; it is a dark charcoal with movement.
Jet Mist® is a superior quality granite (gabbro) quarried in Rapidan, VA in the USA exclusively by GA Stone that is easy to cut. It is a fine grain granite with an appealing soft, dark grey swirl amongst its charcoal black color and offers a broad range of color tones depending on the finish used.
Jet Mist® is extremely dense, and therefore highly impervious to water absorption and staining. It also offers an unusually high compressive strength making it extremely durable and resistant to chipping and breaks.
Jet Mist® can be used on any application including residential landscapes and countertops, civic monuments and memorials, bridges, hardscapes, as well as high-rise buildings for commercial, institutional, and private owners.
Used on some of the most prestigious projects, Jet Mist® can be found on 1 Columbus Circle and Hudson Yards in New York City. Even more, architects have specified it for projects all over the world making it one of the most sought-after granites.
