Gabbro is most widespread within the Ukrainian Shield, especially in Zhytomyr Region. Zhytomyr gabbro deposits are the biggest in the EU in terms of explored reserves.
The most famous are Irschytske (GB6 – NOTTE NERO), Dobrynske (Gb9 – GALANT NERO DOBRYN), Bukivske (Gb – GALANT), Bystriivske (Gb1 – UKRAINIAN NIGHT), Slipchytske (Gb2 – KOMETA BLACK), Lugove (Gb3 – ANTIK NERO) gabbro deposits. The competitors of Ukrainian stone are gabbro from South Africa, the USA and Canada

A distinctive feature of Ukrainian gabbro is that they do not change their characteristics under the long-term aggressive influence of the environment. This is primarily due to the Ukrainian igneous rocks formation conditions under the glacier influence.
The key advantages of gabbro are its resistance to low temperatures and strength. Gabbro is considered the equivalent of basalt

Ukrainian gabbro is famous for its uniform color, which allows it to be widely used for monumental construction and engraving of portraits and inscriptions on it, which do not change its appearance for a long time. Along with the advantages, there are technological difficulties of gabbro extraction and processing, incl. the high fracturing of rock massif, which directly affects the final product cost
