Basalt is normally found on the sea floor because it is so dense. However, it is also rich in the Klamath Mountains of northern California.
No, basalt is not a gas. Basalt is an igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava, which is molten rock. It is a solid material with a fine-grained texture.
Igneous rock, and specifically basalt.
Rhyolite has a more felsic composition than basalt.
Gabbro and basalt are both igneous rocks, but gabbro is a coarse-grained rock formed from slow cooling magma deep underground, while basalt is a fine-grained rock formed from rapid cooling lava on the Earth's surface. Gabbro typically contains more mafic minerals like pyroxene and olivine compared to basalt.
Yes. Basalt is an extrusive mafic igneous rock.

That rock was not Basalt, it was different. This is not a diamond, just a normal Basalt.
Basalt
California is geographically closer to China than New York. The distance between California and China is around 6,000 miles, while the distance between New York and China is around 7,000 miles.

If the basalt flow contains air bubbles and pockets and there is a spring that contains silica then the silica can deposit into the air bubbles (the air bubbles are known as Amygdaloidal basalt or vesicles) If the silica deposits slowly and the conditions are correct then precious opal can form. Two examples of this would be in California at the Nowak and the Barnett mines.
