Basalt

Basalt is a type of mineral that players can discover while exploring the mines. It appears as a dark, smooth stone and can be found within geodes, which need to be cracked open by the blacksmith for a fee. This mineral doesn't have many direct uses but can be sold for a modest price or donated to the local museum to contribute to the collection and earn rewards. It's also sometimes requested by villagers for various quests.
