Recently, I went to Marble, CO, to visit the Colorado Yule quarry. The site produces beautiful high-quality white marble. I had actually visited this quarry more than 15 years ago, and a lot has changed since then.
The quarry has a storied past. After several ownerships, it was purchased by Italian-based R.E.D. Graniti in April 2013. For years, those working the site were unable to produce large blocks due to the marble's soft sugary consistency. But with R.E.D. Graniti's expertise, that has all changed.
