Basalt

Basalt is a very hard volcanic rock that can easily be compared to granite. Basalts mostly have a uniform grey shade and are becoming increasingly popular with those who are looking for something different to fit perfectly with modern, and sometimes minimalistic décor.

Basalt has traditionally been used as an external material, often for cladding purposes. However modern tastes are increasingly bringing this beautiful stone indoors.

Furthermore, Basalt has been renowned for being an expensive stone usually associated with the Italian Basaltina. Recent quarrying has increased the range however to include Oriental Basalt, a beautiful Soapy product which is much more price friendly as well as Moors Green Basalt a stunning dark green basalt and Twilight basalt.

Devon Stone is also proud to present these stones to you in a number of finishes including honed, hand honed, flamed, natural cleft, etc. 

Devon Stone has specialised in Basalt for a number of years and certainly before it became a more mainstream natural stone.  Please call one of our specialist advisors to discuss your basalt requirements.
