Look for it as flagstone and as ledge and wall stone at our Excelsior Road yard, and call first since stock moves. Grizzly Stone Colors vary by pallet and wet vs dry. See it in the yard. Grizzly Stone looks like it belongs in the foothills. It is a basalt that formed in layers of varying thickness, and those layers show up as bands and patterns you will not find in a uniform stone. The palette is dark brown, light gray and a touch of green. That mix makes it an easy fit for natural, woodsy landscapes, dry creek beds and rustic retaining walls. ## Forms we carry Grizzly Stone Ledge & wall stone Grizzly Stone Flagstone Grizzly Stone Ledge & wall stone ## What makes Grizzly Stone different Basalt is a volcanic rock.
