Basalt is a rock that can be mined from basalt rocks in the Salt Mine beneath Weiss after the completion of Making Friends with My Arm. It requires level 72 Mining and grants 5 Mining experience. Mining enhancers do not work here.

It can be used with te salt, along with urt or efh salts to create icy basalt and stony basalt. 200 Basalt is required to attune a portal to both (100 each) Troll Stronghold and Weiss in a Portal Chamber in a Player Owned House, and 2000 Basalt is required to attune a Portal Nexus with both teleports (1000 each). Basalt rocks have a 1/7 chance of being depleted each time they are mined.[1]

Snowflake, who is located just outside the mine entrance, is able to note any basalt you have mined for free.

The Basalt is the item Falo requires players to show him when he sings about: It comes from the ground, underneath the snowy plain. Trolls aplenty, with what looks like a mane.
