Rockworks

The extreme hardness of the quartz grains of this sandstone enables it to preserve an abrasive surface. In addition to hardness, the quartz grains possess a chemical resistance to erosive actions of acidic chemicals in the atmosphere of today's cities. The stone ranges from stackable, random slabs, outcropping and blocks. Its' uses range from installations of wallstone for retaining, decorative stone accents up to 8 ton, or misc architectural pieces for creation of waterfeature focal points.

Geologist Notes:
History tells us that this unique sandstone operation dates back to 1868 bringing us not only fine sandstone products today but aged or weathered blocks and slabs.The unearthed and abandon rock is either a subtle grey or beige color. Fluting and core drills have adds texture, an effect from the coring process when unearthing the block. The antique or weathered slabs have a style of their own and help to create an unusual stonescape.
