  The volcanic activity in Tengchong area started in Pliocene and was active from 3.4millions
  years to 10 000 year b.p. The petrographic name of the rock is described as a multi-colored
  Trachyte, which has a composition close to a Basalt.
  Basalt are produced in Tentchong area, where the size of the vesicles varies in successive
  lava flow, from large vesicles up to 5 cm on top, to medium and small vesicles in the middle
  and none-vesicular massive basalt at the bottom.
  The three different basalt types extracted in Tentchong area are commercialized and are
  valuable for the international market, but the Italian Basaltina type,Dark grey and Charcoal
  are the most popular at this time.
  The color of the upper flow of large vesicular basalt is dark grey and charcoal black, while the
  middle and lower flows are grey or light grey, very similar to the Italian Basaltina. Only in few
  quarry area, the brown to red volcanic rock can be found.
  
  The vacuole size and shape vary also in the different layers, from fine to medium and coarse
  vacuoles, of rounded to elliptical shape. The linear fine vacuolar basalt with feldspar dissemination,
  close to the Basaltina type, is common.
  The rock type is a vacuolar grey,dark grey to charcoal black basalt with characteristic small white
  disseminated crystals (named feldspar).
