Mojave Sunset Rock 3/8" Screened
Also sold as Napa Canyon Rock, Mojave Red and Gamblers Gold
Central California quarry, shipping in bulk in throughout Southern, Central and Northern California and into Las Vegas and Reno Metro markets. This material is top quality hard rock called "rhyolite."
Mojave Sunset is new rock material for the California and Nevada market place. This rock is the by-product of gold mine operations in the northern Mojave Desert. Rock material that an enormous amount of money was spent in moving to get into gold and silver ore rich deposits, that would have gone to waste. This material evokes the view of the evening sunset or perhaps a morning sunrise spreading brilliant colors over a vineyard or grassland horizon.

Always Know What You Are Paying For
In most cases we charge by the ton and drivers often have the receipts from the scale house at the quarry to show upon request. Materials sold by the yard tend to have very in-accurate amounts in the trucks. The actual amounts loaded depend the size of the loader bucket, how well the material was scooped up and who was supervising the loading of the truck. Scale House totals don't lie, so why take a chance on losing money and time with how many square feet, scoops, skips and or dumps were made in loading the truck?
Architects, public agencies, contractors and owner-builders requiring a competitive bid for the materials and transport costs should E-mail us with material specifications, amount and date needed and buyers contact information. For decomposed granite, crushed rock and beach or river cobble hauling we typically employ trucks with carrying capacities ranging from 10 to 26 tons.
Loads of decorative boulders, rip rap and rock ruble are typically moved with;
Truck and Transfer from 10 to 26 tons - decomposed granite, decorative rock and river pebbles and cobbles through 6 inch in size.
End-dumps from 10 to 25 tons - loose bulk loaded material or limited amounts of specimen material
Super-10's from 10 to 17 tons - loose bulk loaded material or limited amounts of specimen material
Flatbeds from 1 to 24 tons - palletized specimen boulders, pallet cribs with rock ruble or small boulders and pallet wire baskets with ruble. Flatbed loads can also handle mixed material orders with supersacks of gravel, crushed rock, river and beach pebbles, road base, decomposed granite, flagstone and other materials.

The square foot coverage per ton of gravel will vary slightly with the surface and designs of the project, waste etc. will affect area coverage. The information is based on average ton and cubic yard amounts. This decorative building stone has naturally occurring colors and shade variations. These are what gives this stone the natural beauty and uniqueness that causes its appeal. Color tones change can sometimes occur with aging or maintenance practices of the location it is installed at therefore exact matching of existing stone may not always occur. During processing or transportation dust will adhere to the rocks and change its appearance on arrival but we guarantee all stone to be true to the specific brand name, type and size ordered or complete exchange including transportation costs will be made.
After installation is completed the rock should be rinsed off to show the natural beauty and character.Product Photos
