There are many different types of rocks, and they can all be broken down into their basic components.
The heat and pressure from the inside of the earth get released at the surface, forming minerals. These minerals are then pushed back down into the earth by plate tectonics or some other mechanism and eventually come to the surface again.
Basalt stone is also created through volcanic activity, these rocks are formed primarily via magma.
Lava Stone are soluble rocks caused by lava fountains- hot liquid erupting from a volcano after being trapped beneath the Earth’s surface. Magma often moves under the crust along faults and cracks. When new magma is introduced below the solidifying crust, it rises and forms molten basins known as mafic vents. As the magma cools, it becomes either solid (mafic) or gas (silica).
Basalt is a sedimentary rock
Basalt is one of the most common sedimentary rocks. It is a very fine-grained natural material, and as it cools, it forms crystals in the pattern of layers called feldspars.
Basalt can be found in many parts of the world where lava has flowed into the soil. In our state of Rajasthan where large Basalt Stone deposits. Due to its low cost and abundance, basalt stone is widely used throughout history in building materials.

Lava is a volcanic rock
Lava is molten rock (magma) that has flowed out of an eruption hole (vent) onto the surface or within the ground. Basalt stone can also be formed by the cooling and solidification of magma inside caves with restricted entrances. Magma is composed of super-heated liquid rock (melted mineral matter) found below the surface.
When magma moves up into a cave system, it tends to form a confined space where it can cool and harden over time. This cold hardened material then becomes stable, so there's no further movement like boiling or melting. The amount of heat stored in the magma determines how long this process will take.

Basalt is a strong material
You already read above that Basalts stone is formed by the quick and rapid cooling of basaltic lava, that is equivalent to gabbro-norite magma, from interior of the earth's crust and exposed at or very close to the surface of Earth. These basalt flows are quite thick and extensive, in which gas cavities are almost absent, it mainly found in the shape of vertical capsules.
Basalt tiles are an excellent choice for outdoor flooring. Basalt is durable, easy to clean and come mainly in the dark black grey tone. Basalt tiles are also an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and anywhere else that needs a durable flooring option.
We have state of art machinery for processing the best quality Indian Basalt Paving - fully automatic 12 head-polishing machines, fully automatic double head calibration machine (40 diamond blades), fully automatic 2 Double disc Edge-cutting machines, fully automatic multi blade block cutting machine, fully automatic shot blasting machine engraving machine, hydro machine, tumbling machine etc.
Lava is used in decorative materials
Both basalt and lava are stones. However, as you can see from their names, they have different origins. While basalt comes from volcanic rocks, which come from deep inside Earth, lava is what we use to build volcanoes.
Both types of stone are composed primarily of silica, but there are some differences in the minerals present. Where basalt is glassy, lava is crystalline. Lava stone tiles are a great option when it comes to house flooring. This natural-looking tile is made up of volcanic rock. What makes it so attractive is the fact that it has been over thousands of years and has retained its natural appearance. The unique appearance makes certain kinds of lava stone tiles more interesting than others but they all have their charm.
Basalt is more porous, so it dries faster. You can walk on basalts everywhere – the ground at the beach, rock at the mountain, even your hand when you touch a cold basin surface.
Black Lava Stone on the other hand, are less porous and tend to be thicker. So although they’re not as smooth or polished, they last longer than basalt. They don’t break down as quickly.
Basalt projects
You can view construction projects where we supplied our basalt stone in hotels, restaurants, lobbies of company headquarters, entertainment complexes, transportation hubs, residential kitchens, baths and recreational spaces etc. throughout the world.
Basalt is a popular material for countertops
Basalt is one of the most popular stones used today, mainly because it’s easy to work with. It’s also very durable and can easily withstand everyday use. Basalt is an igneous rock created from volcanic ash or lava that has cooled over time.
It may seem like basalt comes in large vertical capsule shape blocks, but these are thin layers that have hardened into stone. Each layer is called a bed, and each bed is made of many tiny crystals. The number of beds makes up the grade of the rock. For example, most basalt is classed as “grades” 91 (for short) or 82.
Basalt pavers are a unique paving material that can be used in both residential and commercial applications. Basalt is an igneous rock that was formed from molten lava, so it's a durable and long-lasting option for outdoor projects. Basalt pavers are often used to create a distinctive look in garden patios, walkways, and driveways. Basalt pavers can also be used as a decorative accent in front of buildings or on rooftops.
