Gargamel Basalt Slab

Gargamel Basalt Slab: Volcanic Character and Industrial Strength

Gargamel Basalt is a strong natural stone defined by the dark grey-anthracite tones brought by its magmatic origin and the characteristic micro-pores (vesicles) on its surface. The structure of the stone consists of a fine-grained volcanic texture sprinkled on a homogeneous grey background, and the slight gold-colored mineral glitters that sometimes appear on the surface add a natural and warm detail to this hard stone. Frequently preferred in brutalist and industrial designs of modern architecture, this stone exhibits an “urban” stance.

Thanks to its hard structure, it shows maximum resistance against wear, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy pedestrian/vehicle traffic. Offering a surface that does not age but rather becomes more natural over time, Gargamel Basalt is an ideal and permanent solution for landscaping and exterior facade projects.

Project Application Areas

• Hardscaping: Unbreakable floors for squares, walkways, and vehicle entrances
• Exterior Facade Cladding: Forms a modern and permanent shell in ventilated facade systems
• Garden Walls: Creates a perfect contrast with the green of the landscape with its natural texture
• Pool Surroundings: Its porous structure provides natural slip resistance, offering safe use on wet floors

Technical Details

• Material: 100% Natural Basalt (Volcanic/Magmatic)
• Color & Texture: Dark Anthracite and Smoked tones; Fine Porous (Vesicular) and Matte structure
• Surface Finishes: Honed, Bush-hammered, Raw (Sawn Cut)

Why Choose Gargamel Basalt?
