Single Specimen of Basalt

Single specimen of Basalt. Remember our prices include Vat & carriage within the UK.

Basalt is a type of volcanic rock that is characterised by its fine-grained texture and typically dark or black colour. It often forms as a result of lava flows cooling rapidly on the surface, with little to no gas bubbles trapped within the rock.

It is a common rock type that is found in many regions around the world, and is commonly associated with volcanic activity and plate tectonics.

Basalt has many practical applications, including as a construction material, in road-building, and as a source of mineral aggregates.
