The Details
Easy care. Himalayan granite needs almost no maintenance. Clean with mild soap and water. The polished surface resists moisture, staining, and fading.
Our K2 Black is a deep, pure black Himalayan granite. This stone is comparable to what the industry calls Absolute Black or Jet Black granite. Its density and consistent color make it ideal for deep sandblast engraving with exceptional contrast and detail.
Also known as: Absolute Black, Jet Black, Nero Assoluto, Premium Black

Real reviews from families who trust SilkStone Memorials
Based on 10 verified reviews
“I was hesitant about buying a headstone online, but this exceeded every expectation. The engraving is deep, crisp, and extremely professional looking. The first one arrived with a small shipping scratch, but they replaced it without any hassle. I can now spot my mother's grave from across the park; it's a beautiful landmark.”
“The deep black finish gives the stone so much character. The white lettering really pops against it. Saved us over $1,500 compared to what the funeral home wanted to charge for the same size. If you're on the fence, just buy it.”
“I'm usually skeptical of 'great deals' online, but this stone is the real deal. Only reason for 4 stars is the proof took a week to arrive. Once we approved it though, engraving was done fast and the final product is flawless. Would order again.”
“We are so relieved with how this turned out. The engraving is deep and extremely professional. Cemetery had zero issues accepting it. The whole process from design proof to delivery was smooth. Highly recommend.”
“The K2 Black is gorgeous in person. The white lettering pops against the deep black polish. Cemetery approval was a breeze since it met all their size requirements. We changed our engraving text twice during the proof stage and they never charged extra.”
“The stone itself is beautiful. No complaints about quality. But shipping took almost 10 weeks, not the 4-8 they advertise. Customer service was responsive when I asked about the delay but it was still stressful waiting. If you're not in a rush, the end result is worth it.”
Yes. Our 28x16x3in flat granite markers meet the requirements of virtually every cemetery in the United States. Over 200 families have successfully installed our headstones at cemeteries nationwide. If you're unsure about your cemetery's specific requirements, we'll help you verify before you order. Just reach out.
Before we engrave anything, we send you a digital proof showing exactly how your memorial will look. You can request unlimited revisions until you're 100% satisfied, at no extra cost. We don't start engraving until you approve.
Standard production takes 4–8 weeks after you approve your design proof. Rush processing (2 weeks) is available for an additional fee. Every memorial ships fully insured via UPS Ground in a custom wooden crate with foam padding.
Same quality, significantly lower price. Our granite comes from the Himalayan mountains of Pakistan — quarries our family has worked with for generations. We cut out the middlemen (funeral homes, local dealers) so you get premium granite at a fraction of the local price. Many customers tell us ours looks better than what the local shop offered at 2–3x the price.
Every memorial ships fully insured in a wooden crate with custom foam padding. In the rare event of shipping damage, we replace it at no cost to you. Our satisfaction guarantee means we'll make it right.
