Details

BASALTINA is a hard, black, volcanic rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava at the earth’s surface. BASALTINA has been quarried for millennia, and was widely used during the Roman Empire for a variety of construction purposes. It is a fine grained stone, with shades that vary between black and grey. We stock BASALTINA in both 2cm honed slabs and 24” x 24” honed field tiles to match. Imported from Italy.
