Golden Amber Onyx Boulders Specimen
Central Arizona quarry
This rock is ideal for water features in swimming pools, waterfalls, or general waterscapes. This stone is superior to onyx from Mexico because it is very hard but ironically that makes it much easier for drilling and cutting since it won't fracture. So it can be easily drilled for fountain and or lighting features.
Golden Amber Onyx is an inviting mixture blend of gold, tan and brown tones with white marble veins that worm their way through these warm colors in the rock and boulders. The surfaces of gold onyx rock and boulders range from smooth to jagged and rough to the touch.
This wall rock and boulders are shipped throughout Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Texas, and beyond into the rest of the USA, Canada, and even into the Bahamas.
These boulders can be pre-ordered with holes drilled through them for the installation of water or electrical features. Each drilled hole is $75.00
This is an American-produced onyx (normally we would not parse the differences between American and Mexican stone since we strongly advocate stone imports from Mexico, as the alternative is more stone from Communist China and India and that does not help our countries at all) and this material is much more solid and easier for masons to work with than Mexican onyx. It is also one of the few materials that are cheaper than stone from Mexico. Mexican onyx boulders for the Western USA are more costly, harder to get on a regular basis, and not as well quarried.
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

Product Specifications and Uses
Boulders, Stones, Cobble and Rip Rap are effective in creating scale, color and texture contrast in open landscapes, dry and wet creek features, waterfalls, ponds. Boulders, Stones, Cobble and Rip Rap are also very effective at steering foot traffic away from primary plantings to prevent damage to plants and worn out sections of the landscape.
Small boulders are easily moved with basic hand pushed landscape equipment. Most boulders that are 2-1/2 feet or smaller can be easily handled by 2 or 3 healthy men or a small tractor. Work with boulders larger than 3 feet is likely to include some use of a tractor and skilled landscape construction staff. We offer boulder placement and equipment operating services in many locations, contact us for more information.
