Pharaonic Basalt:

Pharaonic basalt refers to the igneous volcanic rock used by the ancient Egyptians during the Pharaonic period (c. 3100–30 BC) for various artistic, ritual, and functional purposes. Basalt is a dense, hard, dark stone, usually black or dark gray, formed from cooled lava. Its durability and fine grain make it particularly suitable for fine carving and long-lasting monuments.
