Ask Mid Valley Rock which of the three forms are in the yard today, so one stone can cover patio and wall. Sockeye Red Quartzite Colors vary by pallet and wet vs dry. See it in the yard. Few stones mix warm and cool tones the way Sockeye Red does. The base reads gold, white and gray, and then thin threads of red show up across each piece. Because it comes in three forms, you can run the same color from a patio to a pool edge to a wall. Anna and the staff can help you decide which cut fits each part of the job. ## Forms we carry Sockeye Red Quartzite Flagstone Sockeye Red Quartzite Ledge & wall stone ## A quartzite with a little red in it Quartzite is a hard, dense stone. The gold and white tones keep it bright in full sun, while the gray keeps it from looking too busy. The red is what gives it its name. It shows as streaks and hints, not a solid color, so no two pieces look the same. Wet a sample with a hose to see how the color deepens, or read our note on [wet look vs natural](https://midvalleyrock.com/rock-talk/wet-look-vs-natural/). ## Three forms of the same stone Flagstone covers patios and walkways. Tumbled flagstone has been rolled in a machine so the edges are smooth and rounded, which makes it a good fit for pool coping, stepping stones, stair treads and wall caps where hands and bare feet touch the edge. Mini ledge is the popular thin, stacked-strip cut used on walls, planters and seat walls. Using all three lets a whole yard read as one design. ## Planning a matching job When one stone runs through several parts of a project, order the whole job up front. Quarry supply shifts with weather and demand, and a later load may not match. Bring your measurements and a photo of the house when you visit. Stone is sold by weight on pallets, so staff quote by phone or at the yard once they know the square footage and cut you need. ## Popular uses - Flagstone patios and walkways - Tumbled pool coping - Stair treads and wall caps - Mini ledge veneer on walls and planters - Stepping-stone paths ### Is it in the yard today?
