Chittor black stone is a dark, plain limestone from India that gives floors, steps and paving a deep, quiet black look. We supply Chittor black stone as tiles, slabs and cut to size pieces for homes, offices, courtyards, compound walls and outdoor paths.
This page explains how the stone looks, the flooring and paving sizes we cut, the finishes that suit it, where it works best and what decides the price. That way you can send us a clear requirement the first time.
What Chittor Black Looks Like
Chittor Black has a dark base, from deep grey to near black. The grain is fine, and the face is mostly plain, with soft shading and, in some pieces, faint lines that follow the natural layers.
A natural finish looks matte and a little grey. Polishing deepens the black and adds a soft sheen. Because the stone has no busy pattern, it suits clean modern spaces and also works as a dark border around lighter floors.
Colour depth and shading vary from lot to lot. We suggest you ask us for photos of the current lot before you confirm any order, and order matching areas together.

Finishes For Chittor Black
A natural finish keeps the stone matte with good grip, which suits paths, courtyards and steps outside.
A honed finish is smooth and flat with a soft charcoal look. A polished finish brings out the deepest black for indoor floors and borders. A leather finish has a gentle texture that hides footprints. For outdoor choices, our sandstone vs limestone paving guide may help.
Where Chittor Black Works Best
- Floor borders. A black strip frames a light floor and marks out rooms or paths.
- Indoor floors. Polished or honed, it gives a dark, modern floor.
- Steps. Dark treads and risers give a strong line to a staircase.
- Courtyards and paths. A natural finish gives grip. Dark stone gets warm in direct sun.
- Wall cladding. Black panels make a bold feature on compound walls and facades.
What Decides The Price Of Chittor Black
We quote every order in writing, because the price depends on your exact need. These points move it most:
- Grade of the stone. Even black with no cracks or grey patches costs more.
- Size and thickness. Larger and thicker pieces cost more per square foot.
- Finish. Natural is simplest. Honed, leather and polished each add processing.
- Quantity. Larger orders bring the cost per square foot down.
- Delivery terms. Ex factory, delivered in India, or FOB and CIF for export.

Care And Maintenance
- Clean with water and a mild, pH neutral cleaner.
- Avoid acid cleaners, which leave dull grey marks on black limestone.
- Limestone is porous, so seal areas near kitchens and dining spaces.
- Dark polished floors show dust and water spots, so dry mop often.
- Re-polish worn areas at site to bring back the deep black.
Chittor Black FAQ
Is Chittor Black A Granite?
No. We sell it as a limestone. It is softer than granite and reacts with acid, so it needs gentle cleaning.
Does Chittor Black Turn Grey Over Time?
Wear and harsh cleaners can dull the surface. Regular gentle cleaning and a fresh polish bring the black back.
Can I Mix Chittor Black With A Lighter Stone?
Yes. It is often used as a border or inlay with lighter stones such as Tandur Yellow or Kota Brown. Use the same thickness so the floor stays level.
