Apache Sunset Boulders Specimen
Southern California quarry producing material from DG fines, crushed rock, rubble, and boulders.
Bulk loads are shipped bulked-in end-dump loads of 10 to 24 tons throughout California.
Smaller orders shipped on pallets anywhere requested.
Apache Sunset Rock, also known as Honey Quartz, is a very hard rock material that is a semi-grey colored rock covered in full or in patches with a mineral patina that varies from burnt yellow, orange, red, and purple tones.
The only rock material in Southern and Central California that has colors of red, orange, yellow, and sometimes purple tones, Apache Sunset is an excellent value. For boldly colored landscape boulders this rock is right there with Baja Cresta Red from Mexico. In fact, these two materials complement each other very well in water and landscape features when mixed together.
Tons vs. Yards and Square Feet.
In most cases we charge by the ton and we 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. Amounts 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. We typically employ trucks with carrying capacities ranging from 17 to 26.5 tons.
Decomposed granite, crushed rock, gravel, sand and similar materials are typically hauled in;
Truck n Transfers from 24 to 26.5 tons,
End-dumps from 24 to 25 tons
Bottom and Side Dumps 25 tons
Super-10's from 10 to 17 tons

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.
These very rugged quartz boulders feature red and yellow mineral patina coatings against a strong grey surface. Bulk loads may contain up to 10 percent white quartz rock material.
