Aesthetics, building, conveyance, and insulation are what basalt is used for.
Specifically, the rock draws upon ancient use in busts, jewelry, road- and walk-ways, statues and vases. In modern times, it functions as ballast along railroad tracks, filler in concrete, and mix for asphalt. It lends itself most safely as electrical insulators and in brake linings. It may be melted and extruded into fine fibers in the production of pipes and wind power turbine blades. It produces an attractively rugged-looking tile.
