Description

Timaru Basalt originates from the eruptions of Mt Horrible to the west of Timaru, where lava rivers once flowed and cooled into long bluffs and ridges of blue/grey vesicular basalt rock. This unique rock is characterized by veins and features that are unparalleled in New Zealand. Each piece of Timaru Basalt is distinct, creating a product that is not only naturally beautiful but also resistant to weather, low in maintenance, non-slip, and durable enough to last for generations.

The stone's versatility has captured the attention of architects, civil engineers, and town planners who are increasingly recognizing its potential for a wide range of applications. As Timaru Basalt continues to be specified for new and prestigious projects, it establishes a lasting heritage in New Zealand, contributing to the country's architectural and design legacy for generations to come.
