The main components of black basalt are iron and magnesium silicates, calcic plagioclase, and pyroxene.

• Black basalt is one of the densest stones on earth which is created from hardened molten lava. It is an igneous rock (volcanic rock) which is erupted at temperatures between 1100 to 1250 ° C and is dark in color.
• Basalt is low in silica content but comparatively high in iron and magnesium components.
• Basalt is used for various purposes but due to its properties, it is more commonly used for construction purposes.
• Basalt is used in crushed form for constructing road base, concrete aggregate, asphalt pavement aggregate, etc.
