Basalt benefits? Geology question..

[Warlock]

"By releasing essential minerals and nutrients, rock deposits are essential to healthy plant growth and increased agricultural yields. However, not all rock amendment products are alike. For balancing overall soil health, basalt stands out from other rock materials."

So we have alot of basalt in Texas. Its used I. Landscape for its color. It is crushed and a company sells screened basalts around 1/4in for cheap.


It is igneous rock and somewhat related to lava rock.

Are there any geology people familiar with basalt ?
