Origin: Germany

Basalt is a dark-colored, fine-grained rock of volcanic origin. It forms from the rapid cooling of basanitic or alkaline lava during eruptions that occur at the Earth’s surface. Due to its high material density, basalt is classified as a hard rock and is highly valued and in strong demand. It is used in a wide range of applications, including the concrete industry, asphalt industry, road and civil engineering, as well as in landscaping.
