Just a few miles from our Salisbury operations lies our Gardenia White quarry. Recognizing the rarity and beauty of this white granite, Rock of Ages purchased the Gardenia White quarry to provide our customers with a cost-effective alternative to our premium Bethel White. Since obtaining this site, we have increased production to meet the over increasing demand for this lovely granite.
