Difference in stone and rock

Crab Orchard Stone - is an especially hard, weather resistant variety of sandstone due to unusually high concentrations of silica. The stone’s exclusive buff, tan, blue-gray and pink colors were created by a mixture of iron, titanium and magnesium, and the yellow and brown swirls that give the stone its one-of-a-kind appearance come from iron stains and natural weathering. It has a gritty, non-slip surface and brilliant-when-wet colors that make it a popular choice for pool decks, walkways, flooring, patios, and stairs. The stone’s attractive colors make it a perfect accent solution for fireplaces, veneer, stacking, facings or other high visibility surfaces.

Tennessee Field Stone - Our Tennessee fieldstone has lots of earth tone colors such as browns, buff, grays, and Tennessee blues. Its weathered beauty makes it ideal for a wide variety of landscaping and building applications such as edging, borders, stacked walls, dry creek beds, ponds, waterfalls, water fountains, patios, steps, walkway, fireplaces, fire pits NOTICE our fieldstone is graded by ¾” increments this makes it a favorite for masons. Also it comes on heavy oak pallets, wrapped with heavy gauged wire. Your trucking company and your end user will all appreciate this.

Ashlar Stone - is dressed stone work of any type of stone. Ashlar blocks are large rectangular blocks of masonry sculpted to have square edges and even faces. The blocks are generally 13 to 15 inches in height. When smaller than 11 inches, they are usually called "small ashlar". Ashlar blocks are used in the construction of many old buildings as an alternative to brick. Generally the external face is smooth or polished; occasionally it can be decorated by small grooves achieved by the application of a metal comb. (This process is usually used only on a softer stone ashlar block. The decoration is known as mason's drag.)[

Rubble - is broken stone, of irregular size and shape. This word is closely connected in derivation with "rubbish", which was formerly also applied to what we now call "rubble". Rubble naturally found in the soil is known also as 'brash' (compare cornbrash). Where present, it becomes more noticeable when the land is ploughed.

Stepping Stones - Stones or shaped concrete blocks (aka pavers or pas japonais), set into the ground and positioned to form a decorative walkway path or entrance (as to a home).

Boulders - In geology, a boulder is a rock with grain size of usually no less than 256 mm (10 inches) diameter. While a boulder may be small enough to move or roll manually, others are extremely massive. In common usage, a boulder is too large for a person to move. Smaller boulders are usually just called rocks or stones. The word boulder comes from Middle English "bulder" which was probably of Scandinavian origin such as dialectal Swedish "bullersten" meaning "noisy stone" (Imagine a large stone in a stream, causing water to roar around it) from "bullra" (to roar, cf. Dutch "bulderen", with the same meaning) and "sten" (stone).

Rustic Ripple - This quarry is on a 500 acre farm, owned by Mr. Blue, and has thousands of tons of this beautiful stone. No one ever knew this stone was there until the farmer started excavating to build a lake on his property and started hitting this wall of stone. He cleaned around it and noticed it was flagstone, and was amazed at the different beautiful colors and texture of this stone.

No one else in the region has these unique colors and texture together. He started having people to come and look at it, they were just amazed at the looks of this stone compared to all the other quarries in this region, but were afraid it may not sell being it was so unique and no one has ever had this product, although it has a lot of the same charistics as fieldstone. Tennessee Stone Harvesting was invited to come look at it, as we are one of the largest field stone producers in our region. So we started to quarry some of it and marketing it, and it was a really big hit and people are just falling in love with it!

Just about every time someone sees it on our stoneyard they compliment how unique and beautiful it is and many of them have switched from what they were coming to buy to the rustic ripple.

This stone has a rough rippled texture and many colors that 2-tone together like none other in our region, The closest place I have seen stone that compares to our stone is in the Rocky mountains. This product has multi brown tones with copper on the first 4 ft of quarry, then 2' of two tone browns and blues mixed together, then last 6' has blue and gray colors. If your one who wants to set that next job apart from everyone else's, you will definitely want to check out our RUSTIC RIPPLE And remember we can blend the colors to cater to your jobs request.
