None. Ultramafic peridotite is not a volcanic rock (is intrusive). Basalt rock (yes, volcanic) is the efusive equivalent of peridotites.
Do you know that beneath peridotite, a rock named kimberlite is found and this is the main source of diamonds, being widely beneficiated in South Africa? Good luck with your ultramafic and may be you can find some diamonds too !!

What kind of rock forms when lava cools?

How do igneous rock forms from lava?
The lava cools.
Is peridotite intrusive or extrusive?
Peridotite is an intrusive igneous rock, meaning it forms below the Earth's surface from the slow cooling of magma. It is primarily composed of olivine and pyroxene minerals, and is commonly found in the upper mantle.
Does lava turn into a rock when it cools?
Yes, when lava cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock. The type of rock that forms depends on the chemical composition of the lava and the rate at which it cools.
What types of rock does lava formed?
When lava cools it forms extrusive igneous rock.
What is the name of a rock that forms form cooling lava?
The rock that forms from the cooling of lava is called igneous rock. When lava cools and solidifies on the Earth's surface, it is specifically referred to as extrusive igneous rock, such as basalt. If the lava cools slowly beneath the surface, it forms intrusive igneous rock, like granite.
Does a igneous rock forms from lava?
Yes, an igneous rock forms when lava is cooled. It is called an extrusive igneous rock (because lava is extruded onto the surface of the earth). A magma pool that did not erupt as lava can cool to become an intrusive rock.
What rock does lava form?
The igneous rock forms from lava because when a volcano erupts the lava that flows from a volcano. Igneous rocks have a hot liquid in the beginning. The lava that flows forms into an igneous rock fast. When the lava reaches the surface, it cools rapidly and turns into igneous rock.
What kind of rock forms when lava cools in the ocean?
When lava cools in the ocean, it forms a type of rock called pillow basalt. This distinctive rock gets its name from its pillow-like shape that results from the rapid cooling of lava in water. Pillow basalt is commonly found in areas where underwater volcanic eruptions occur.
