Where to find large flat stacking rocks

[Mainecoons]

I'm looking for stacking rocks a couple feet in diameter I can use to make a pedestal for an Olmec bust in our yard.  Where to look?

Thanks as always!

Your best bet would be to find a "cultured stone" distributor. This is a veneer which you cement to a pedestal. The pedestal would most likely be cement board, with attached wire mesh. They have have some very nice stacked stone effects and they are used extensively in upper end new construction. It also does not have grout lines, for extra stacked looking effect.

I believe they have an "English" option

Rough cut cantera? Can the local vendor get you raw slabs?

"Piedra de laja" is the term for natural flat stone and there's a lot of it available in the area.

There was a “materiales“ place west of Ajijic, on the carretera, and there were often piles of slate and other flat rock there, and on the north side of the road.  Maybe they are still there.  If not, I will bet that Jara could either supply them or send you to a source.

Probably Flores Materiales. If approaching from the East into Joco,  Flores is on the left (South side) before the first traffic light in Joco.  Flores is where the highway median ends so about 50m before the first traffic light in Joco.  The store on the North side across from Flores is a tile store.
