Although it is common, it is rare to find the long solid columns of basalt that we make into our fountains. Basalt is a dense crystalline material, about 10% heavier than granite. The skin or crust on the outside of the columns will have a patina that ranges from beige to red to black and will often contain a variety of colors. The inside of a basalt column is black and polishes up to a rich luster, which is visible on the polished portions of our fountains. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Choose a Blue Thumb Basalt Fountain Kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe work directly with quarries worldwide to supply only the highest quality columns to be used as basalt fountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reservoir\/basin needs to be of the right thickness and be supportive enough to hold the weight of these dense columns and not cave over time. Our AquaBox® Basins are the best choice when installing a basalt column fountain kit. We match the fountain size(s) with the perfect basin, pump size, and all necessary plumbing. The only thing you need to figure out is the fountain placement that gives the best viewing in your chosen location. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort Kit - ABBC400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Drilled Basalt: 18\"h, 24\"h, 30\"h\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/practicalgardenponds.com\/products\/blue-thumb-fountain-reservoir-basin-52-altum-aquabox%C2%AE?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=b9a0973a3\u0026amp;_ss=r\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eA\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/practicalgardenponds.com\/products\/blue-thumb-fountain-reservoir-basin-52-altum-aquabox%C2%AE?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=b9a0973a3\u0026amp;_ss=r\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003echelous Fountain Basin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• 1495gph pump\u003cbr\u003e• Flow Control Valve, Plumbing, Tubing\u003cbr\u003e• 200lb Polished Pebbles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-container\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-container\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTall Kit - ABBC425\u003cbr\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Drilled Basalt: 24\"h, 30\"h, 36\"h\u003cbr\u003e• \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/practicalgardenponds.com\/products\/blue-thumb-fountain-reservoir-basin-52-altum-aquabox%C2%AE?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=b9a0973a3\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eAchelous Fountain Basin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• 1980gph pump\u003cbr\u003e• Flow Control Valve, Plumbing, Tubing\u003cbr\u003e• 200lb Polished Pebbles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Blue Thumb","offers":[{"title":"Hollowed-Out Basalt Fountain Kit - ABBC400 (Short) \/ BlackPebbles","offer_id":47901227417836,"sku":"ABBC400-BlackPebbles","price":2749.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hollowed-Out Basalt Fountain Kit - ABBC400 (Short) \/ MixedColoredPebbles","offer_id":47901208281324,"sku":"ABBC400-MixedColoredPebbles","price":2749.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hollowed-Out Basalt Fountain Kit- ABBC425 (Tall) \/ BlackPebbles","offer_id":47901208248556,"sku":"ABBC425-BlackPebbles","price":3499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hollowed-Out Basalt Fountain Kit- ABBC425 (Tall) \/ MixedColoredPebbles","offer_id":47901208314092,"sku":"ABBC425-MixedColoredPebbles","price":3499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/5028\/9980\/files\/basalt-hollowed-main__12264.jpg?v=1783451667","url":"https:\/\/practicalgardenponds.com\/products\/blue-thumb-triple-polished-top-sides-basalt-fountain-kit","provider":"Practical Garden Ponds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
