Subject: question about sandstone et al


Greetings~

I've just completed carving a smallish block of the Pecos Red Sandstone
and actually enjoyed how it worked. The graining on it has fooled a
couple of people into thinking it was some strange red wood. Local (San
Antonio) supplier (San Jacinto Stone) is selling the old supply from his
stack at $25 a cube (not sawn, but rough) and said his price for the new
quarried stone coming in has gone up.

Does anyone know where in Texas this quarry is and a contact number or
name? They are very tight mouthed about where they get their rox... I'd
like to take a trip out to a quarry that is pulling this sandstone from
the ground.
