Name: Ukrainian Gabbro
Type of stone: Gabbro-Diabase. Gabbro is a stone formed when hot lava from inside the Earth does not escape in a magma flow through a volcano but is blocked underneath the Earth’s surface where it cools down over a certain time. Tater tectonic movement over millions of years brought it to the surface. Gabbro is closely related to granite and has similar characteristics, often commercialized under the same title. When escaping through a volcano and cooling down on the Earth’s surface, its matter turns into a basalt.
