Buckskin Quartzite at Mid Valley Rock
Buckskin Quartzite Colors vary by pallet and wet vs dry. See it in the yard.

Buckskin Quartzite brings warm color with a cool undertone. The main tones are brown, gold and light gray, and soft blue hues run through them. Together they give the stone a deep bronze appearance. Quartzite is a hard stone, harder than sandstone. If you want a warm patio that does not read as plain tan, Buckskin Quartzite is worth a look in person.

Color up close

Each piece mixes brown, gold and light gray. The blue hues are subtle, and they are what push the overall color toward bronze.

Color shifts from piece to piece, so pick in person when you can. Staff can help you balance the lighter and darker pieces across a patio.

Where Buckskin Quartzite works

As flagstone, it suits patios, walkways and stepping paths.

Warm tones sit well with stucco, wood fences and drought tolerant plantings. See our flagstone patio ideas and walkway ideas for layouts.

Setting and cutting

You can soft-set thicker pieces on sand and DG, or hard-set with mortar over concrete. Our soft set vs hard set guide explains the difference.

If you trim pieces to fit, cut stone outdoors with a wet saw or water on the blade, and wear eye protection and a dust mask rated for silica. Stone-cutting blades are in our supplies area.
