question about sandstone et al
Quoted text begins.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.
End of quote.
Rachman,
You are right about how good the finished stone looks. The quarry
currently is a mess, but I do know the people pulling the stone out
right now. Also know of a few "boneyards" where you can probably find
some chunks. Got rid of most that I had. Would also point out that
along I40 in the Santa Rosa area of New Mexico (Pecos River Valley) the
same stone can be found in abundance, although I haven't searched out
any old quarry operations up there. My experience with the stone is in
restoration work for many of the historical Texas Courthouses where it
was used extensively for the ornamentation. Give me a private email or
a call, and I'll hook you up with the right people.
