87
This Cherokee Strip Blue/Brown sandstone has been chopped into builders using, for the most part, the split face of the stone. On this sample, some of those builders have been rotated to show the natural edge which adds some darker colors to the blend. The colors vary from dark gray, gray, tan, brown, rose and gold. The material is 3-5” thick with a coverage of 35-45 square feet per ton and was installed in a dry stack style. Cap is Mountain Valley Sandstone.
