Basalt

High pressure resistance, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, frost resistance and high strength is a volcanic rock that stands out.

Basalt, found in nature as masses, veins, and flows, is black in color, fine-grained, dense, hard, and durable. Rapid cooling causes it to form scattered crystal structures within a glassy matrix. With these characteristics, it is an important volcanic rock belonging to the gabbro group.

High Level of Durability

Basalt maintains its shape even under the most demanding conditions thanks to its high resistance to abrasion and impact.

Adaptation to Harsh Climates

Its freeze-thaw cycle-resistant structure makes it a reliable choice for outdoor applications.

Natural and Aesthetic Choice

With its black color and dense texture, it adds both strength and aesthetics to architectural projects.

Production

Mine Shaft & First Step

Basalt stone, carefully extracted in columns using our machinery and equipment from our quarry, is processed in its natural state and in specific sizes for sale.

Processing & Production

The sizing process is carried out entirely by hand, with skilled stonemasons using only sledgehammers and hammers, without any machinery, to transform the stone into paving stones (cubic stones) or decorative stones. Production achieved through handcrafting emphasizes authenticity, naturalness, material quality, and grandeur.

Classification & Preparation

Production paving stones (cubic stones), decorative stones, and column blocks arriving at the storage yard are classified according to their quality and size, stored, and made ready for sale. Being the product least affected by wear and weather conditions ensures that it ranks among the most preferred natural stones.
