Oakley stone

The stone is quarried south of the city of Oakley in Cassia County, northeast of the three-state border with Nevada and Utah.

The stone is noted for its great variety of colors, ranging from white and silver to browns, yellows, and golds.

[3] The outcroppings of the stone usually lie parallel to the ground and occur in large plates that can be easily split into thin veneers.

Archie Boyd Teater's Studio designed by Frank Lloyd Wright used the stone in both the exterior and interior of the building.
