Colours
Nustone Australian porphyry stone is available in grey and earth-tone.
Subtle variations in shade are typical in the grey coloured stones.
The earth-tone stones display a range of colours including brown, tan, red, green and gold.
Being a natural stone, the colour variations are caused by the amount of oxides, water and concretions that have infiltrated the stone over the centuries. Generally, the earth-toned stones are quarried from near the top of the quarry, where they have had more exposure to the elements. While the grey stone comes from deep in the quarry and as such has had less exposure to the natural forces.
