Really appreciate that. We did start with local pits, but had to push a bit further north to find a vein with that dead-flat, quiet texture.

Really appreciate this. We actually scripted the path's slope variations around the maximum slab lengths from a quarry an hour out, so I'm glad that sense of quiet came through.

We actually imported 3D point-cloud scans from a local quarry straight into our Grasshopper nesting script to lay out those procession steps. Watching raw 4-ton basalt blocks get indexed against digital tolerances always grounds the math pretty quickly.

That quietness is so hard to capture on paper. Are you keeping the basalt face rough-cut along the procession to catch the light, or going with a smooth honed finish?

A stone mason in Girona once made me touch a slab of fresh-cut dark basalt just to feel how much heat it held hours after sunset. It completely changed how we thought about the physical cadence of the procession path.

Feeding photogrammetry scans from a local quarry directly into our nesting scripts completely changed how we panelized dense stone like that. When you let the algorithm route cuts around the actual basalt fault lines, the block yield gets so much better.

We did—found a family-run pit about forty kilometers away that had the exact tight grain we needed so the surface holds that depth even when wet. Are you wrestling with local stone specs on something of your own right now?
