Beautifully Illuminated Eldorado Stone Presents New Moonlight Rough CutHighly Versatile, Limestone-Inspired Profile Invokes Eastern American Influence

May, 2009 – Possessing a rich architectural history that spans the late 19th and early 20th centuries, limestone, with its rugged lines and textured appeal, is a universal element characteristic to European and American structural design. Masons often strengthened limestone's natural appeal by hand-dressing and chiseling the stone into an ashlar shape with deeply worn edges. Now, the same coarsely cleaved appearance is available in the Eldorado Stone Moonlight RoughCut profile.

Moonlight RoughCut is characterized by warm pale grays, accents of soft creams, highlights of gold and hints of rust in addition to the signature pronounced face that recreates limestone's beautifully rugged appearance at a fraction of the weight (and subsequent cost). Expertly shaped by Eldorado Stone artisans to evoke a rustic, traditional look, the functional and flexible RoughCut profile also works in tandem with clean, contemporary lines. The product's visually adaptive characteristics make it an ideal stone for highlighting prominent features in both interior and exterior applications.

"We are constantly working with leading architects and designers to develop highly versatile profiles with distinction through indigenous styles and colors," says Brent Spann, vice president of marketing for Eldorado Stone. "With the addition of Moonlight RoughCut we are able to provide a limestone profile that incorporates the warm earth tones we see prevalent in the Eastern American regions."

The RoughCut profile, whose stones range in size from approximately 2 to 11 inches in height and 2 to 18 inches in length, is available in three additional distinctive colors: Vineyard Trail, Wheatfield and Autumn Leaf. The entire color palette for the RoughCut profile ranges from golden umbers to earthen browns, rusts and pale grays, boasting virtually limitless options for imaginative design applications.
