Buff Blocks

Elliott Stone Company, America's leading supplier of dimensional limestone products, is the only operation in North America to quarry blocks underground. We have designed and built special machinery that provides us with the ability to quarry material year round without interruption.

With reserves of limestone estimated to last another thousand years, we can supply "America's Building Stone" well into the future. Blocks quarried are of promiscuous size and length. Sales of limestone blocks is subject to availability. Elliott Stone Company does not supply stone slabs, however if you desire slabs, we'll be happy to direct you to vendors who cut slabs from limestone quarried by us.
