Polished Old Kimono Crowsfoot Schist Variation

The other stone we quarry is Crowsfoot, a variegated schist that has been designated by the Marble Institute of America as one of this continent’s rare, exotic stones. This 600 million year old stone originally flowed out of ancient volcanos, cooled slowly, grew the wonderful crystal inclusions and than was pressed and folded in the crush of continents. It has a field of opalescent teal green or sea gray with varying sized bundles of black hornblende crystals (crowsfeet), feldspar, quartz ribbons and occasional cherry wood colored garnets. Every block we quarry is unique and therefore each variation is a limited edition. Each time we quarry a new variation we give it a name. To date, we have about 10 named variations of Crowsfoot. This stone is used for fine interior applications; kitchen countertops, vanities, floor tile and planking, fireplace surrounds and wall panels. Crowsfoot comes in a satin or an understated polished finish.
