BasaltBasalt

Sourced from the ancient volcanic plains of the Deccan Plateau, our basalt is a dense, near-black stone with a strikingly fine and even grain that polishes to a deep, glassy surface. It is equally powerful in its natural, rough-hewn state, raw, elemental, and quietly authoritative. Basalt is our material of choice for minimal contemporary pieces: wall fountains where a sheet of water runs over pure dark stone, monolithic sculptures that need no ornament, and planters where the drama comes from material alone.

The base colour moves through muted brick red, into earthy terracotta, and on to a deeper rusty red. Basalt carries relatively low colour variation, though subtle tonal shifts, natural grains, bedding marks and occasional mineral variation should be expected from piece to piece.
