Author: StonemongerSubject: Absolute Black: scaring and bleachingPosted: 01 Dec 2009 at 9:30pmMy question for you is, were the bottles from hard alcohol of some sort? A small percentage of wht is sold to us ad "Absolute Black" granite is actually a gray stone from India that is then dyed black for sale. This dye is alcohol soluble, a happy fact my company discovered when installing about 200 square feet in a high end country club's lounge as a bartop...The alcohol bleaches out the dye and leaves odd, translucent areas that you just can't seem to clean off!Luckily, we managed to browbeat our warehouse into reimbursing us the material and got the genuine article from elsewhere. Still cost us time and sweat and delays on other jobs.

More than 60% of Maldives' coral reefs hit by bleaching
2016-08-08 04:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Press Association: More than 60% of coral in reefs in the Maldives has been hit by bleaching as the world is gripped by record temperatures in 2016, a scientific survey suggests. Bleaching happens when algae that lives in the coral is expelled due to stress caused by extreme and sustained changes in temperatures, turning the coral white and putting it at risk of dying if conditions do not return to normal. Unusually warm ocean temperatures due to climate change and a strong El Nino phenomenon that pushes...

Coral bleaching likely to last through 2016
2016-06-22 05:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
NanoNews: A recent survey found that as much as 35% of coral died in some regions of the Great Barrier Reef during the current bleaching event, though NOAA researchers said Monday that it is too early for a full global assessment of how much coral has died. NOAA presented its grim outlook for the world`s coral reefs at an worldwide symposium being held this week in Honolulu, Hawaii. "Our satellite based products show that this is now the most widespread, largest bleaching event to ever occur globally",...
