KRC Rock Presents...


“Romancing the Stone”

Featuring: Three Rivers Stone


At KRC Rock we are passionate about our products and believe that each of our stones have a unique story to tell. Utilizing natural stone forged from the earth itself adds a primal beauty to your home and landscape that can be as unique as a fingerprint. Knowing the type of rock, its origin and the process by which it has entered your landscaping or countertops is an amazing story that goes beyond the name on the label.


This month KRC Rock presents…


Three Rivers Stone/Flagstone


This argillite stone was formed high in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. Three Rivers Stone contains a rich, earthy blend of golds, browns, tans, whites, beiges and plums that combine to create a one of a kind look. This best-selling stone has an array of applications such as standup flagstone, ledge, thin veneer, wall rock, slabs, pavers, pool coping and boulders.


For more information about Three Rivers Stone or any of our other various products, contact us through Facebook and Twitter or on our website.


*Argillite: A compact metamorphic rock composed mainly of clay and aluminum silicate minerals. It is similar to slate in appearance and splitting properties, but usually much harder.
