Basalt does have a greater specific gravity. Granite is not as dense as basalt.
basalt is an extrusive igneous rock to be specific.you can use it to extract mafic minerals such as ,Biotite(used to make insulators).But as a rock it is used in construction as building material.
The magma that forms alkalic basalt forms under conditions with a higher fraction of partial melting that the magma that forms tholeiitic basalt. This means that the resulting alkalic melt contains a higher percentage of the minerals with a low silica content.
Basalt is a very abundant volcanic rock. A basalt boulder is simply a large chunk of basalt rock.

If u are referring to andesitic basalt, lava having a greater silica content than that of basalt. Andesite is a rock.

The Rosetta Stone is a dark grey-pinkish stone of granodiorite, although it was originally thought to have been basalt. Granodiorite is an igneous rock, rather like granite, but the presence of more biotite mica and hornblende makes it darker in appearance than granite.
An alkali basalt is a particularly alkaline variety of basalt.
The address of the Basalt Rld is: 14 Midland Ave, Basalt, 81621 8305

That rock was not Basalt, it was different. This is not a diamond, just a normal Basalt.
