What is Basalt?
Basalt Rock is originally found deep within a volcano where it remains for hundreds of million years, gaining all of its natural properties.

This grey-black and fairly lightweight stone have pores on its surface that become smaller and denser towards the centre and a find-grained, crystalline texture.
