What Makes Black Diamond Rock So Special?
Black Diamond Rock starts as volcanic rock that's been naturally formed over thousands of years. When lava cools and solidifies, it creates this incredibly dense, durable material. The deep black color comes from iron and other minerals that were present during formation. We then crush and screen it to precise sizes, giving you that perfect combination of natural beauty and practical functionality.
