Avondale is a colorful blend of real thin cut limestone veneer.  This natural stone is unique in that the pieces of stone showcase a large color variation but all come from the same quarry.  Avondale’s unique color variation comes from using different parts of the quarried slabs of natural stone.  The quarry is naturally layered and the stone slabs or sheets are peeled up by pushing a wedge between the layers.  The sheets vary in size with the largest being roughly 12’x2’ with a thickness ranging from 1”-12”.  The outer portion of the sheets of stone are colorful due to the rainwater washing in minerals over millennia. The interior portion is the grey unadulterated limestone.  We use hydraulic presses to process the slabs and expose the inner part of the limestone.
