Quality Hill Country Limestone Since 1929
For the past nine decades, architects coast to coast have drawn inspiration from the warm-toned limestone produced by Texas Quarries. With a customer list that includes clients from New York to California and from Canada to Japan, Texas Quarries provides superlative craftsmanship and unique limestone in a variety of styles and textures as expansive as the architect's imagination.
Today our Liberty Hill quarry is providing fabricators with its highest quality stone ever, in two iconic varieties:
Cordova Cream
Cordova Shell
Properties of Texas Limestone
Most building designs that incorporate Texas Quarries limestone consider these properties:
| Test | Cut | Cordova Cream | Cordova Shell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Density | n/a | Low | Low |
| Absorption ASTM C97 |
All | 8.36% | 8.55% |
| Modes of Rupture (Dry) ASTM C99 |
All | 1041 PSI | 542 PSI |
| Compressive Strength ASTM C170 |

| Specific Gravity | All | 2.08 | 1.92 |

Sales and Pricing
Texas Quarries blocks are sold as:
- Select - 7'6" or longer;
- Standard - 7'6" or shorter; or
- Rustic - chopped stone in various sizes.
Block pricing is determined per the "useable" cubic footage of the blocks. It is important when shipping to calculate the overall size and weight of the blocks to determine the trucking requirements.
In most cases we have blocks available for immediate pickup. We quarry continuously, so both small and large projects can be supplied in a timely manner.
We offer sample boards showing both smooth and chopped finished material for project promotion.
