Lam Dong Black Basalt – Formerly Known as Dak Nong Black Basalt from Vietnam
A Consistent Natural Stone for European Architecture and Landscaping
Lam Dong Black Basalt, formerly known on the international market as Dak Nong Black Basalt, is a high-quality volcanic stone from Vietnam. Due to recent administrative changes, Dak Nong Province has now been merged into Lam Dong Province, and the stone is officially renamed Lam Dong Black Basalt.
Despite the name change, the origin, geological structure, quality, and technical properties remain exactly the same, ensuring full consistency for architects, importers, and contractors in Europe.
Why Dak Nong Black Basalt Is Now Called Lam Dong Black Basalt
Vietnam has restructured provincial boundaries, and Dak Nong Province is now part of Lam Dong Province. As a result:
-
Dak Nong Black Basalt → Lam Dong Black Basalt
-
Quarry location remains unchanged
-
Stone quality and color remain identical
-
Export standards and processing facilities stay the same
For European customers, this change is administrative only, not technical.
