Desert Quartzite Irregular Walkway & Patio Stone

Long Description

We went to Arizona and found a great quarrier with a wonderful red stone we call Rosa, and a great tan to brown stone called Rattlesnake Buff. Both stones represent the unique colors of the desert of the southwest U.S.. We've added a third stone to that mix of southwestern stone - Desert Quartzite. Gray and silver base colors mix with a wonderful array for accent colors to produce a stone that is utterly unique - there really isn't anything close to it in our extensive selection of walkway and patio stone that is similar. Desert Quartzite is a metamorphic stone. It was originally sandstone - a stone made primarily of sand and silt. Metamorphic stone is compressed sandstone - it is compacted by heat and pressure to create a very durable and hard stone. The colors are due to the original sand and silt plus a wide variety of minerals.
