The company is owned by Ken Mirch who was raised working in the Bluestone industry and started his own venture in 1999. Initially, Catskill Stone was involved in block sales, but after a friend told Mirch about the quarry site in Pennsylvania, he began producing blocks and ultimately established a saw mill for fabrication.
The quarry sits on 160 acres in Equinunk, PA, on the New York border about a mile from the Delaware River. Stone extracted at the site includes material sold as part of Catskill Stone's “Victorian Rose†collection, which has tones of violet and purple.
