Featured on the cover of this issue is the Colorado Yule quarry in Marble, CO, which was recently purchased by Italian stone producer, R.E.D. Graniti. This quarry was actually one of the first I visited when I started out at Stone World. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit it again this summer. The site certainly has a history, and the operation has definitely changed since I was first there in November 1997.
The drive from Denver to the town of Marble is majestic. Even in the summer months, the Rocky Mountains are capped with snow. And as you approach the Colorado Yule quarry, you realize that the white caps are actually made of marble.
