Product Details:

Basalt is a dark-colored, fine-grained volcanic rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava. It is one of the most common rock types on Earth, especially in oceanic crust. Basalt is often associated with volcanic islands and mid-ocean ridges.

Basalt is a valuable resource for various industries, including construction, agriculture, and manufacturing. It is used as a building material, aggregate for concrete, and a source of minerals.
