The stones used in this Rock Wall Consists of natural Blue Rock which is commonly found in Hawaii. The rock consists of random sizes and colors from brown, green, golden, blue, grey and black. Another Custom feature added to this wall is that we chose to stain the wall a few shades darker, this brought out the darkened tints of the rocks and made the wall take on a new form of elegance.
