Q. What are the uses of basalt stone?

Answer

Crushed basalt is now frequently utilized as aggregate in building projects. Road base, railroad ballast, asphalt pavement aggregate, concrete aggregate, and drain field filter stone are all common uses for crushed basalt. On the other hand, basalt may be shaped into architectural stones. Its thin slabs are put to use as veneers, flooring, and other similar applications. Historically, basalt has been used as a building material, specifically for paving and dimension stone. Across the Roman Empire, basalt was repurposed into roadway pavers and stadium bleachers. Big columnar chunks are utilized to make large, long-lasting stone artifacts, monuments, and even works of art, whereas thinner slabs are used for veneers, floors, etc.
