Carderock® Quarries, trading as Tri-State Stone & Building Supply, Inc. and Ben Porto & Son, Ltd., has been family owned and operated since its inception in 1926. The stone is a mica-schist quartzite. The vibrant blues, browns, greys, and greens create an aesthetically pleasing mixture of colors for various types of stone projects. The quartzite gives the stone durability while the mica-schist establishes its unique horizontal and vertical cleavage, making the stone easy to work. The colors, durability, and ease of use have made Carderock® Stone a favorite of stone masons, architects, designers, and homeowners for generations.

Carderock® Veneer Stone - for use in walls with setting beds of 4" to 6", such as house fronts, fireplaces, chimneys, or any job requiring stone facing. The stone is somewhat irregular in shape, many with reasonably square edges for corners, 6" to 12" in height, and lengths up to 60". Coverage of 30 to 35 square feet per ton can be expected for rubble style applications. Also available in a snapped and premium snapped grade. These have been run through a guillotine to reduce the amount of field trimming and shaping required. Coverage for the snapped is 35 to 40 square feet per ton and 40 to 45 square feet per ton for the premium snapped.
