STONE QUARRIES IN
ARIZONA

Arizona's 150 quarries support one of America's fastest-growing states, extracting materials from diverse desert geology. The Grand Canyon State's operations produce decorite (decomposed granite), limestone, and specialty stone for the booming Phoenix and Tucson metros. Southern Arizona's copper mining creates byproduct aggregate, while northern operations near Flagstaff extract volcanic cinders and basalt. Arizona's unique colored gravels and decorative stone are shipped nationwide for landscaping, and the state's quarries continue expanding to meet surging residential and commercial construction demand.
