Honestly I see no reason why that stone can’t be represented by vanilla Minecraft obsidian. It fits all the qualifications. Real life obsidian is brittle and not a good building material, but in Minecraft it fits just about all the qualifications. It’s black and mysterious looking. It genuinely looks like Orthanc in the movies (as well as Tolkien’s description). It’s volcanic in origin, and hard enough to procure that structures made from it on a large scale would really be unusual. It’s blast resistant and incredibly hard to break as well. There’s no reason to add another practically identical material.
