Stonecrest natural thin stone veneer is a three-way blend of natural machine cut limestone from our Wisconsin quarries.  The thin stone is a blend of light grey, buff or cream, and very dark grey pieces.  Stonecrest is an excellent example of the natural beauty that can be achieved with split face stone.  The terms machine cut and split face are used interchangeably within the stone industry when referring to a veneer that shows the interior part of the stone slabs.  The large slabs or sheets of Stonecrest limestone are fed into a 72” wide hydraulic press that breaks them cleanly with 300 tons of cutting force.
