Basalt is melted in a furnace at a temperature of 1200° C, which makes it an excellent raw material for popular stone casting (making fireplaces, stair treads and other cast forms). Basalt filaments, which are formed after the rock is heated in the furnace and sprayed, are used as thermal and sound insulation (stone or basalt wool).
The study is accompanied in northern Ethiopian basement rocks, Finarwa area and its surrounding areas, south eastern Tigray. The objective of the study is to amendment field geology, mineralogy ...

Results from their study and field observations from the mining area appear in a new article titled An In-Depth Gemological Study of Blue Sapphires from Pailin, Cambodia Pailin sapphires resemble gems from other basalt-related deposits in Thailand, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Australia, and northern Madagascar.
Mining and trading is concentrated around the town of Chila, about 25 km northwest of Aksum. Based on the literature, the alkali basalt field that produces the sapphire stretches into Eritrea, although no sapphires from that area have reached the market. Several sites are active, and about 5,000 miners were working the deposits.
