Because of increased popularity in granite stone, especially Adirondack Garnet Gem, The Garnet Stone Company has decided to expand after one year of dimension stone operations.
LAKE PLACID, NY (PRWEB) September 22, 2004 -- Garnets are typically set in a patterned granite of black hornblende and white, pale-green or golden feldspar and pyrite" declares Bonnie Barton, Vice President. The coin-size red nuggets have considerable depth and luminescence, just like the gems in garnet jewelry. Our Garnet Gem products are really getting noticed, especially the Fireblossom variety. Countertops and tabletops are popular, but were also seeing increased demand for garnet fireplaces, tile and stone tableware."
People are interested in us for all sorts of reasons. Garnet is the January birthstone and the Official New York State Gem. We also offer a native Adirondack product made by native Adirondackers", adds Hudson Barton, CFO. According to Mr. Barton, production has recently increased and inventories are being established. We are hearing from stone fabricators as far away as Texas and Florida, and we hope to serve them efficiently."
Peter Barton, President, commenting on the latest developments, says Quality control remains our top priority. Judging from the quality of our slabs, the program is really succeeding. Our ancestors who have mined garnet in the Adirondacks since 1866 would be very proud."
