No Two Basalt Fountains are the Same! 

Each quarried, cut stone is beautiful in its own way with natural variations and imperfections that make it one-of-a-kind.  Yours will be unique to you and not an exact match to the photos shown.

Basalt Fountain colors and texture vary depending on quarry. If you would like to know current stone colorings available, please message us in the chat, give us a call (989-837-3116) or email us (hello@yardjoyment.com).  We are happy to assist! 

What is Basalt?

Basalt is a volcanic rock and one of the most common types of rock in the world. Although it is common, it is rare to fine the long solid columns of basalt like we have in many of our products. The skin or crust on the outside of basalt will have a patina that ranges from beige to red to gray to black and will often contain a variety of colors. The inside of the basalt is black and polishes up to a rich luster. Basalt is a dense crystalline material, about 10% heavier than granite.

Installation

Each Basalt kit comes complete with a professional, molded basin for easy installation as well as the pump, plumbing, and decorative polished pebbles to complete the system. These kits are pre-assembled decreasing your installation time to less than three hours.
 

About Blue Thumb Basalt Fountain Kits

Basalt Fountains showcase the natural beauty of the stone while creating a relaxing atmosphere in your outdoor space. They feature unique cuts and twists that capture the perfect balance between motion and stillness. 

Blue Thumb works directly with the quarries to supply only the highest quality columns to be used as basalt fountains. The base used to support the weight of these dense columns needs to be of the right thickness and be supportive and not cave over time. The AquaBox basins are the best choice when installing a basalt fountain.
