- Basalt Firepit stones are an excellent choice among the natural stone materials to use in the creation of outdoor firepits in your patios and landscape designs.
- Firepits demand extremely heat-resistant material to withstand the longer lifespan.
- Basalt originates from the igneous rocks made from Lava from deep earth crust strata.
- Thereby, Basalts have built-in capabilities to tolerate high temperatures, and it makes it ideal natural stone material for firepit like outdoor utility features.
- Basalt has dense grains speckled over the mass equally. So, it seems in a consistently grainy in appearance with dark & light shades with a few variations.
- The natural cleft surface finish makes it more natural than other finishes. Natural pits and bumps on the surfaces reveal its innate natural beauty.
- Basalt firepit stones have an excellent grainy texture and augment the overall aesthetics of firepits in your outdoor landscape design.
