Common type of volcanic rock (6)

I believe the answer is:

basalt

(Other definitions for basalt that I've seen before include "Commonest type of solidified lava; dense, dark grey and fine-grained" , "Dark rock of volcanic origin" , "Common volcanic rock" , "Black volcanic rock" , "Type of rock is a blast, oddly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
