One standout feature is the Homeland Gallery entry wall, built with StoneLite® lightweight natural stone panels crafted from Kasota Valley® Limestone. This innovative honeycomb backed system pairs the beauty of natural stone with modern engineering, creating a textured statement wall that draws visitors into the exhibits.

Earlier this week, we took time to reflect on the milestones that continue to shape Coldspring. From raw material deep in the earth to finished stone that stands for generations, transformation is at the heart of everything we do.

Each slab, paver, panel, and monument tells a story, not just of stone, but of the people behind it. It is a legacy built through craftsmanship, care, and a shared commitment to doing things the right way.

As we look ahead, we are proud to keep building on that legacy and making our mark within our communities and in the places our work will stand for years to come. Thank you to our customers, partners, and community members for your trust and support.

Achieving the beauty of natural stone does not have to come with weight, cost, or installation challenges. StoneLite® by Coldspring delivers the beauty of natural stone while dramatically reducing weight, improving structural performance, and expanding design flexibility. Its lightweight panels are easy to handle and require less equipment and framing, and the simple track system allows panels to be set into place quickly once leveled.

Meet the GMM Toden, a crucial piece of equipment on our Coldspring campus. With its 78-inch (6’6”) blade diameter and ability to joint material up to 2’-7” thick, it significantly expands the range of work we can complete. It handles straight cuts, angled cuts up to 45 degrees, and detailed profiles with consistent accuracy, making it a versatile tool for both standard and specialized projects.

As one of 10 GMM diamond saws on our campus, the Toden plays an important role in supporting our craftsmanship and efficiency. Its capabilities help ensure that we continue to deliver high-quality stonework across a wide variety of applications.

In recognition of National Pet Day, we are celebrating Whiskey, the therapy dog who brings calm and positivity to Coldspring. Since joining his family in 2019, Whiskey has been spreading comfort and smiles, earning his therapy dog certification at just nine months old with an impressive 98% score.

His gentle presence is a reminder of the powerful role pets play in supporting mental and emotional well-being. Thank you to Jill M. Schaefer Lauer for sharing Whiskey with our team and to all the pets who make our lives a little brighter every day.

Iridian® granite, quarried in Isle, Minnesota, is a popular choice for architects and landscape architects due to its modern look, versatility, and durability. This medium-grain stone features light gray to light beige coloring with black markings, and black and/or white swirls or veining may be evident.

Architects across the country have chosen Iridian for landmark spaces, including the Ralph Carr Colorado Judicial Center in Denver, the National Japanese American Memorial in Washington, D.C., and Nashville Public Square. Each installation highlights the stone’s ability to enhance civic and public environments.

Discover the beauty and craftsmanship behind Houston Waters, a standout public art installation in downtown Houston, Texas. The project features two Rockville® White granite water sculptures paired with flowing serpentine benches that create an inviting focal point for the community.

Designed by artist Brad J. Goldberg, the natural stone structure ranges from 7 to 8 feet in diameter and 9 to 11 feet tall, forming striking water features where rippled surfaces interact with water and light. A combination of thermal, Diamond® 8, and polished finishes enhances the visual movement as water glides over each form.

We take pride in helping bring visionary designs like Houston Waters to life through timeless natural materials and expert craftsmanship.

Knowing how to properly refinish a bronze memorial is key to preserving its beauty and protecting it for years to come. During a recent hands-on session at Worthington Monuments in Burleson, Texas, Byron Nistler from our Foundry team demonstrated the full process from stripping the existing finish, repainting the surface, sanding and polishing letters, and applying a clear coat for long-lasting protection.

It was a great opportunity to share knowledge and best practices for preserving the beauty and integrity of bronze memorials.
