I found two links for better understanding:

http://cyberfair.gsn.org/Nespelem/Basalt_Columns_.html
http://home.t-online.de/home/realschule.linz.rhein/basalt.jpg

IIRC the columns are about 20cm diameter and quite irregular, no single
crystals, but that does not seem important to me because I like to place
them as objects like the cylinders.
