Welcome to American Basaltworks

American Basaltworks is committed to bring you high quality domestically quarried and manufactured basalt from the Pacific Northwest. The dramatic forms of the columnar basalt are from a 16 million year old, rapidly cooled extrusive igneous rock called the Columbia River Basalt flow. This is a dense fine grained stone with a bronze patina on the outside and clean black interior. This unique material is linked to the volcanically active Cascade mountain range and a part of the "Ring of Fire". Beautiful, strong, and versitle... we know you find the Cascadia Basalts a wonderful addition to your architectural vision.
