Is the supply of good gray Barre granite (Rock of Ages) holding up? I know they were having trouble a while back.

I think Rock of Ages is a brand. Maybe they were wobbling? I haven't heard that the quarry at Barre VT is tapping out. They have a lot of competition from GA, India and China these days. Believe it or not it is cheap to quarry polish and cut the stone including inscription in China and ship it here (these things weigh 450lb minimum).

I understand the quarry at Barre VT is a great family trip. The scale of operation there is said to be breathtaking.
