Our Stone
Fruitlands Stone, is the main type of schist used for the veneers, which is quarried from the historic Fruitlands area in Central Otago, New Zealand. Fruitlands Stone is chosen for its slab-like structure and unique fine-grained smooth surfaces, interspersed with quartz and greys to create an aesthetic style for various types of stonework. The autumn colours epitomises the colours of Central Otago.
