Here in australia broken up bits of basalt are used to make concrete. It's referred to as 'blue metal' and is added to portland cement with sand for concrete structures.

Great talk, he's a good teacher.

Great he is a good teacher

Fantastic teacher!!!

Much appreciated generosity of effort and knowledge

Thanks very much for this. The local beach by the village where I grew up the sand is black. I'm told this is because the rock is basalt. I took a rock home recently to look and and it is jet black but unlike all the examples I find online, this rock is smooth - almost glassy. The hornblende seems more smooth and glassy. Is this because this rock has a higher percentage of hornblende?

Basalt Rocks!!!!

Very well explained

Excellent !!!

Look up basalt-based fiber technology and rebar in concrete. interesting rock !

Thanks for your video. I am learning about mineral wool for firestopping purposes and the mineral wood is manufactured from basalt. Rock wool... time for me to keep digging on the process of making rock wool. Have a good day! #OHIOnative #GoBucks

Man, I love geology

Is there any one has data about "Investigating the behavior of deficient monolithic basaltic stones retrofitted with FRP through FEM analysis"?

Hi, how well does basalt handle heat? I am considering using it in a pizza oven as the base. Oven operates below 900 Celsius? Thanks.
