Description

Citadel Stone’s Black Basalt Antique 8″ × 8″ × 2″ brings the softened-edge antique finish specification of our signature volcanic basalt into the compact square format and substantial 2-inch thickness suited to traditional residential hardscape and heavy-duty paving applications across the United States. The antique finish is produced through a controlled tumbling-style process that softens the sharp edges of machine-cut basalt and produces a gently weathered surface character — distinct from the precise edge profiles of standard sawn, honed, bush-hammered, or polished basalt finishes. The result is a basalt specification that reads as more traditional, more aged, and more visually integrated with cottage-garden landscapes, period-style architecture, and contemporary projects that prefer softened character. The 8-by-8-inch square format installs in modular grid patterns, traditional fan layouts, and coordinated mixed-format compositions. The 2-inch (5cm) thickness — heavier than the standard 3cm paver specification — supports residential vehicular driveways, courtyard paving with vehicle access, and light-commercial hardscape where the additional thickness margin is part of the structural specification. Quarried from Citadel volcanic deposits in the Middle East. No sealing required. All-climate performance without restriction across every USA market.

Specifications

Color: Black
Finish: Antiqued
Size: 8″ × 8″ × 2″
Origin: Middle East
Technical Details: Citadel volcanic basalt source. Our basalt is sourced exclusively from controlled Middle Eastern volcanic deposits that Citadel Stone has worked with for five decades. The structural integrity, density consistency, and colour uniformity reflect that long-term supply relationship. In-house antique finishing. The antique surface is produced in Citadel Stone’s controlled finishing facilities by experienced stone craftsmen, ensuring the softened-edge character is consistent across pieces and across batches. Heavy-duty 2-inch thickness. The substantial 2-inch (5cm) thickness provides structural margin for residential and light-commercial vehicular loading without requiring custom thickness orders, distinguishing this specification from the standard 3cm paver thickness in the Citadel basalt range. Family-coordinated stone specification. The same Citadel basalt is available in multiple formats and finishes — antique, honed, bush-hammered, polished, sawn, split-face — across multiple formats and thicknesses, supporting whole-project specification with material consistency across surface treatments within the same stone family. Climate-honest specification guidance. Citadel basalt is the all-climate specification with no caveats. We recommend basalt for projects in any USA climate without restriction. The antique finish does not change the underlying climate performance. No sealing protocol — practical advantage clearly stated. The no-sealing-required performance is one of the principal practical advantages of basalt over limestone, marble, sandstone, and porous-stone alternatives, and applies to the antique finish identically to other Citadel basalt specifications. Honest disclosure about antique character on basalt. We do not claim the antique basalt delivers the classic tumbled-limestone aesthetic that the material genuinely does not produce. The softened-edge character of antique basalt is its own visual specification, distinct from but complementary to the Citadel tumbled limestone range. Custom thicknesses on request. Beyond the standard 2-inch thickness, this finish is available in 3cm, 4cm, 6cm, and 8cm specifications for project-specific requirements.
