Indian Paint Stone (aka Death Valley Paint, or Navajo Blanket Stone) comes from the Death Valley area of California, where collecting is no longer possible. This is a sedimentary rock. The interesting patterns and colors are created by trace amounts of iron and manganese being drawn into the rock by capillary action through minute cracks in the stone. Polishing this material results in a satin sheen rather than a glossy polish.
At Heather Canyon, I seek to provide the best rare and exclusive material at affordable wholesale pricing to
accommodate
even the most discretionary artisan.  I provide some of the most popular lapidary material from around the world as well as exclusive Heather Canyon material.  I am a professional geologist and do some of the collecting for material myself as well as seek out some of the best rare materials.  Each lapidary slab is shown wet with both sides so you know exactly what you are receiving.
