Shades and variations of natural colors
The use of oxide-treated basalt is a green and design solution of great potential that blends one of the oldest stones on earth with colors of equal natural origin and history. In fact, the addition of oxides gives the surface of the basalt a unique and personalized appearance, creating color and texture effects that can vary by following and enhancing the textures of the stone itself. Such oxides as iron, copper, and manganese can be applied to the basalt surface by controlled oxidation processes achieved through a combination of water, temperature, and air. This creates color effects that can range from reddish-brown to olive-green and blue-gray, giving the basalt a rustic and natural appearance.
