The strongest rock in the world is diabase, followed closely by other fine-grained igneous rocks and quartzite. Diabase is strongest in compression, tension, and shear stress. If mineral hardness is the determining factor of strength then diamond is technically the strongest rock in the world. Rock strength is not always an easy thing to measure.

Kulhawy and Goodman (1987) suggested that, as a first approximation, the unconfined compressive strength σ cm of rock masses be taken as 0.33σ c when RQD is less than about 70% and then linearly increase to 0.8σ c when RQD increases from 70% to (see Fig. 8), where σ c is the unconfined compressive strength of the intact rock.

If the upper part of the rock, within a depth of about 5/4, is of lower quality, the value of this part should be used. Another practice that is normally followed is to base the allowable pressure on the unconfined compressive strength, qu, of the rock obtained in a laboratory on a rock sample. A factor of safety of 5 to 8 is used on qu to ...

The rock hardness of basalt is 6 on the Mohs scale, and can be seen through a combination of its compressive strength: 100-300 Mpa (Megapascal), its tensile strength: 10-30 Mpa, and its shear strength: 20-60 Mpa, which denotes that depending on the mineral makeup, basalt rocks fall in the strong – very strong category.
