This stone was

formed two billion

years ago by heat, pressure

and a variety of trace elements.

It varies in color throughout the quarry

in shades of red, green and black.  It sometimes

comes studded with hematite, tourmaline, or

garnet.  In many areas the rock is gnarled

with quartz of feldspar layers, giving it a

unique and impressive twist.  Not

only is the rock beautiful to

look at, but it is durable

as a landscape stone.

The mica platelets

make it especially

attractive for

water

features.
