Buckskin is a tan and gold color of Arizona Sandstone, a stone that is popular for its huge range of colors. The tan and gold tones sit well next to stucco, wood and warm-toned homes. It is a medium hardness stone and very porous, which affects how you seal it and where you use it. Mid Valley Rock stocks it in several thicknesses and as tumbled flagstone, so one color can cover a lot of ground.

Tumbled Buckskin
Mid Valley Rock carries tumbled sandstone in Buckskin and Rosa. Tumbling smooths and rounds the edges.
Tumbled pieces are a good choice for pool coping, wall tops, seating and stepping stones. Arizona Sandstone boulders in Buckskin are also available to tie the whole look together.
Living with a porous stone
Because Arizona Sandstone is very porous, many owners choose a sealer. Wash the stone, let it dry five to ten days with sprinklers off, and apply in the cool morning.
When the quarry has them, specialty colors such as Black Cherry, Blush, Grand Canyon, Peach, Sedona Red, Sunburst, Wild Orchid and Windrose can also be ordered. Pricing is quoted by phone or at the yard, since stone is sold by weight.
