Basalt Columns

Our collection of Basalt Columns are harvested from the Mongolian fjords and the North American mountain regions. They are carefully picked out of the earth, where they are naturally heaved outwards in finger-like structures.

These columns are not refined to make their shape, and their character therefore area conversational piece. Columns are not drilled, offer a nice rustic texture and neutral colours, and are generally tall and think units.
