Basalt: volcanic rock
Lava Stone is the cooled, porous form of basalt, an igneous rock born from volcanic eruption. Its open cellular structure is created as gas escapes during rapid cooling, leaving behind a stone that is both lightweight and unmistakably rugged.

Lava Stone is porous and absorbent. Avoid prolonged water exposure and remove before swimming. Clean with a soft dry cloth. The matte black surface deepens slightly with wear, an honest patina.
