Basalt

Basalt is a dark-colored, dense rock composed primarily of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene. It is the most common rock type found in oceanic crust and is an important component of the Earth’s continental crust. Basalt is formed through the rapid cooling and solidification of magma at Earth’s surface, resulting in the formation of lava flows and volcanic rocks. It’s used for pavers, copings, pier caps, walls,  risers, curbs, cobbles and many other applications. Basalt is available in a variety of finishes - flamed, honed, lappato, leather, sand and shot blasted to meet a variety of aesthetic and functional needs. It has great strength and durability.

Basalt is a fine-grained, dark-colored igneous rock that forms from the rapid cooling of lava at the Earth's surface. It is primarily composed of minerals such as plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine, with a relatively low amount of silica. This gives basalt its characteristic dark gray to black color, though it can also have hints of green or brown depending on the mineral content.

Basalt is one of the most common types of volcanic rock, and it is found in large quantities around the world, particularly in areas with volcanic activity. Due to its toughness, density, and resistance to weathering, basalt is widely used in construction and landscaping applications. It is commonly used for paving stones, building facades, and decorative stonework, as well as in the production of crushed stone for roads and other infrastructure. Its unique texture and strength make it highly durable, making basalt an ideal choice for both interior and exterior project.
