What are Basalt Columns?

Basalt is a volcanic rock and one of the most common types of rock in the world. Although it is common, it is rare to find the long solid columns of basalt like we have in our products. The skin or crust on the outside of the columns will have a patina that ranges from beige to red to black and will often contain a variety of colors. The inside of the basalt and polishes up to a rich luster. Basalt is a dense crystalline material, about 10% heavier than granite.

Blue Thumb works directly with the quarries to supply only the highest quality columns to be used as basalt fountains. The base used to support the weight of these columns needs to be of the right thickness and be supportive and not cave over time. The AquaBox basins are the best choice when installing a basalt column fountain.
