What rock was used to make the Moai Statues on Easter island in Chile?

All but 53 of the 887 moai known to date were carved from tuff (a compressed volcanic ash). At the end of carving they would rub the statue with pumice from Rano Raraku, where 394 moai and incomplete moai are still visible today (there are also 13 moai carved from basalt, 22 from trachyte and 17 from fragile red scoria.

Easter Island (Rapa Nui) isn't in Chile. It is a Polynesian island, but is a territory of Chile.

"Easter Island (Rapa Nui: Rapa Nui, Spanish: Isla de Pascua) is a Polynesian island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeastern most point of the Polynesian triangle. The island is a special territory of Chile."

Basalt

Doh yeah your right basalt would be too hard to carve easily
