Every slab is different, so call Mid Valley Rock to ask which slabs are in the yard, then come see them. Storm Mountain Slabs Colors vary. See it in the yard. A single large slab can do what dozens of small stones cannot. Storm Mountain slabs are a quartzite that is silver in appearance, with gray tones and golden brown veining. Quartzite is dense and hard. Use one as a bench, a big step, a landing at a door or a bridge over a dry creek. Each slab is one of a kind. ## Silver quartzite in a big piece The silver look comes from a light to dark gray base with golden veins. On a slab, those veins run across a large surface and become a real feature. Slabs vary in size, shape and thickness. Come see them so you can pick the one that fits your space. Quartzite is generally harder than sandstone. ## Uses for a stone slab Set a slab on two boulders for a garden bench, use it as a wide step or landing, or lay it across a dry creek as a footbridge. Slabs also make outdoor tabletops. For matching stone, see [Storm Mountain](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/storm-mountain/) flagstone, veneer and boulders. ## Moving and setting a slab Slabs are heavy. Plan access from the street to the spot where the slab will sit, and ask about [delivery](https://midvalleyrock.com/delivery/). For large pieces, the yard can refer you to a crane placement company. Set slabs on a compacted, level base so they do not rock. ## Popular uses - Garden benches - Wide steps and landings - Dry creek footbridges - Garden focal points - Outdoor tabletops ### Is it in the yard today?
