Natural Colorado red quarried sandstone, with its durability and wide spectrum and textures, brings vibrant life to any building project. This high quality stone’s colorful beauty increases with time.

Colorado sandstone is a hard, low absorptive quartzitic sandstone that resists freeze/thaw cycles and has a slip resistant natural cleft.

Our stone was deposited as sand dunes nearly 300 million years ago, when a shallow sea lay east of Colorado’s Front Range. Its hardness and color make it a perfect choice for walls, flagstone pavers, stone veneer, architectural stone, chop rock and slabs, signs and custom built stone furniture.

Colorado red quarried sandstone naturally splits into layers as it comes out of the ground.
– The rough, flat surface of the split is called natural cleft.
– The other sides of the quarried stones are seam faces.
– We can split slabs into specific shapes with a snap cut, leaving a rough edged face, or we ca use a stone saw to create a smoother side face.
