Confirm before specifying

Ask the supplier about current availability, material range, fabrication and test data for your application. A listing or MSHA status does not establish supply readiness.

The 2013 certificates describe submitted samples and list the quarry/fabricator as unknown. Underlying full reports are not supplied. The freeze-thaw summary records surface spalling; it is not an all-climate certification.

Stoneworld identifies New Mexico quarry origin and supplies the Fossil Creek material family. The same-name historical MSHA permit is retained separately from current supply.
