Poolburn Brown Schist
Poolburn Brown stone has been used for decades around Central Otago and further afield. The autumnal colours blend to create an attractive warm toned stone that works beautifully when matched with timber, corten and black, grey and cream-toned cladding materials.
Poolburn Brown Schist is quarried from the Ida Valley in the heart of Central Otago, the stone is processed through a state of the art guillotine and then dressed by hand before being placed into 1-tonne bulk bags for transport.

Schist is a naturally formed building material with limited mechanical inputs, resulting in minimal carbon footprint. Massive quantities of rock are constantly forming and reforming in nature. The quantities extracted by us are negligible when compared to natural erosion rates.
