About Us
Madoc Rocks started in 2002, manufacturing hand made rock coasters with rock from the Madoc, Ontario area. The area is geologically on the edge of the Canadian Shield, where volcanic silicate rock meets sedimentary calcitic rock. The tectonic forces and chemical makeup of the area has been responsible for the incredible diversity of rock we have been able to access and use in Madoc Rocks products. The colours and patterns in the rock, combined with our demanding selection requirements, have made our coasters as successful as they have become. Since our beginning, we have cut over two million slices, to produce over 700,000 coasters. With all of that experience, we have become very adept at selecting rock and knowing how to slice it to get the best results. This learned ability has encouraged us to recently expand the business beyond coasters into another artistic line, Quarry Cut Designs, a jewellery line developed by my younger daughter Sam. |
Mother Nature is the real artist - we simply capture the beauty she's created and pass it on to you.
