Grampians sandstone

The glowing red and cream-gold of Grampians sandstone. Cal the Stoner sculptor.

Grampians sandstone

Cal sculpts primarily in a vein of beautiful red and cream-gold Grampians sandstone sourced from one of the last true dimension sandstones quarries still operating in the state of Victoria.


The Grampians sandstone quarry itself has been operating for a little over 150 years, however the geology of the sandstone is approximately five hundred and fifty million years old. ‘Dimension stone’ is raw, rough sawn sandstone. The stone is unusually hard and fine.


Surrounding the Grampians sandstone quarry is a designated permanently protected conservation zone to protect all native flora and fauna. Grampians sandstone corporate responsibility

    The cube photo gallery

      The cube

      The cube is Cal's 3rd intricarved stone art work 


      A one-off piece and Cal's first foray into miniature abstract portable stone sculptures. The sculpture might look deceptively simple. A closer inspection will reveal hundreds of individual stones hand-carved and then assembled into a myriad of colour and linear detail. Cal experimented with the concept of the much larger Stoner River. The pictorial detail previously sculpted across the 2D surface of the Stone Rivers is now wrapped around the cubes 6, 3D faces. In a considerably more compact size.


      Size: 300 x 300 square 

      Weight: 60 kilograms 

      Hours: 120 hours 

      Timber plinth: Australian hardwood


      The cube is an indoor sculpture exhibited at The Andamooka open-air sculpture studio

          Planets's of galaxy z

          The Planets of galaxy Z are a sandstone sculpture series named after Cal’s son.

            Stone River series

            Stone Rivers are a series of wall features and sculptures. The walls vary in size and scale, from solid permanent installations through to portable pieces. The process of assembling a pile of stone pieces into rivers of colours and shapes depicting a myriad of features and landscapes can take anywhere between 4-12 weeks, depending on the scale of the work. 


            Each wall is built, stone by stone, by the artist combining ancient dry stone techniques with modern day building code requirements.


            Sculptures in the Stone River series include; Stone River #4 (sold) and two portable works; Stone River #7 Phoenix and cat (pictured) and Stone River #6 Death adder
