Geology

Found only in New York, Glacier Blue® Devonian Sandstone is a sedimentary sandstone formed during the Devonian Period. This incredibly beautiful and workable building stone evolved during 410 million years of glacial pressures and mountain building events. Glacier Blue® Devonian Sandstone retains a very high level of structural integrity allowing us to cut and finish the stone to exacting specifications.
