Basalt, a volcanic rock, primarily comes in varying shades of gray with minimal mineral deposits for high quality. Precision in cutting ensures uniformity in color and accurate sizing. While basalt has a relatively high absorption rate, it can be used in intermittent wet areas, but not submerged ones. This durable material is suitable for commercial applications and can be honed, polished, or finished in various ways to meet specific preferences. Basalt tiles offer versatility in design, with options like penny round mosaics and straight joint mosaics. Ideal for large entertaining areas due to its low maintenance and durability, basalt's neutral coloring complements various design schemes and offers longevity without the need for alterations. Its hard and durable nature, derived from its volcanic origin, ensures longevity and resistance to corrosion, requiring minimal maintenance.

Basalt is spread over an area of about 11,000 km2 in the northeast of Jordan, which is a very huge reserve. Also, the proven reserves are calculated from data obtained from boreholes drilled in Tell Burma and estimated at 310 Mt.
