Safeway Memorial Testimonial

January 17th, 2012

Dear Paul:
On behalf of Safeway I would like to thank you and Kalamazoo Materials for providing the materials, landscape decorative rock, boulders and support during the installation of the Safeway Memorial during the weekend of remembrance. Michael Price was exceptional and provided a high-level of detail to the appearance surrounding the memorial. In addition, they showed remarkable integrity and sensitivity to the nature of this special project.

Because of the assistance of Kalamazoo Materials, Tusconans now have a place to reflect, pay respect to the victims, grieve for those we’ve lost, and thank those men and women who have responded.

Again, thank you for your thoughtfulness and heartfelt generosity! We truly value Kalamazoo Materials as an outstanding community partner!

Kino Blue Water Feature

October 10th, 2011

This amazing backyard water feature was done by a contractor that buys from one of our retailers, Green Valley Decorative Rock in Green Valley, Arizona. The gorgeous pop of color from our large Kino blue boulders is just fantastic! It really brings out the blue from the water and contrasts nicely with the purple lantana and the yellow wildflowers.

A Bit About Granite

May 9th, 2011

There are 3 main types of rocks on the Earth; igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.  Granite is a very common igneous rock named for its granular texture.  It contains many small crystals making it beautiful and also very durable. Rhyolite is very similar to granite, but with a smoother texture, as its crystals are generally too small to see. On the contrary, a granite rock with unusually large crystals is known as pegmatite.  Other minerals found within the granite composition are what contribute to the granites color variations.  Some of these minerals include quartz, feldspars, potassium, hornblende and mica.

The term granite is used to describe a huge variety of different rocks that contain the same basic chemical and mineral compositions.  Granite is found all over the world on every continent, usually in along the mountainous chains.  The region where the granite is mined generally lends to each unique name based on it colorings and other distinguishing features.  Granites durability, beauty and abundance make it a preferred choice of stone over most others.
