Elkhorn Natural Thin Stone Veneer

Elkhorn natural stone veneer is a colorful blend of rocky mountain quartzite.  The thin stone has deep reddish-brown tones with plums and shades of grey ranging from very light to dark gunmetal.  Elkhorn fits loosely into the fieldledge style with some irregular pieces; however, it can also be laid in a more linear ashlar style depending on your design preferences.  The quartzite has a high iron content which gives the stone its vibrant rust colors.  With the iron content and rust colors, the stone can bleed on exterior applications. This can happen when rain hits the stone and the iron colors or bleeds on a surface below the stone such as a patio.  The bleeding effect can easily be prevented by using a sealer on the stone.
