AUX VASES:
This stone has long been known by many stone masons as one of the best quality and easiest working stones. Named after the Aux Vases River which runs near the quarry site, many of the historic buildings in the town of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, dating as far back as the 1700s, are built of this stone.
Aux Vases has a very unique pattern or veining that has long been referred to as "turtle shell" pattern in the bed of the stone. The type of quarrying technique used over the years extracted the blocks, stood them up so the freeze thaw process opened the natural beds of the stone. After the separation of the beds, the natural layers were then processed as building veneers, caps, coping, sills, drystack, mantles, hearths, etc.
Aux Vases Buff and Aux Vases Blue stones are available as:
- building veneers - natural bed, sawed top and bottom, ashlar pattern, snapped or tumbled
- edging
- dimensional - hearths, mantles, caps, coping, sills, quoin corners, straight or radius profiled headers, arches and paving, etc.
- Mixed soft blue and buff limestone colors. Specify if ALL blue or ALL buff only. Sawed top/bottom 2 1/4", 3 5/8", 5", 7 3/4". Jumpers are available 10 1/2", 13 1/4".
