Pietra Basaltina - Honed

Basaltite is an exclusive Italian Basaltlava from the Volcanic area of Bolsena in the North of Rome.
Basaltite is a platinum-grey coloured stone with a very high breaking load, it is frost-, heat- and saltiness-resistant and furthermore very resistant to atmospheric aggressions. Thanks to its compactness, this stone must not necessarily be filled, contrarily to other lavastones with an open-hole structure.
The stone has a uniform chromatic aspect and its physical and mechanical characteristics are excellent, thanks to its components the material has also a high natural slip resistance.
The blocks are quarried from banks with diamond wire and the max. suitable dimension for the gang saw is 320x180 cm. The production included everything from the blockpiece to the 1 cm. calibrated tile (even large dimensions until 200x60 cm.)
The surface treatments can be: sawn, honed, filled and honed, polished, filled and polished, bush-hammered, sandblasted and brushed surface.
