Showing the single result

Eskett has been in operation since at least 1922, primarily exploited for dolomite and similar rocks, which are crushed for aggregate.

More recently, a company has started to produce slabs of decorative rock from the quarry.

It occasionally produces specimens of aragonite and calcite.
