Ōamaru Stone delivers all interior limestone products across New Zealand cost-effectively, directly from Parkside Quarry in Ōamaru, North Otago – our family-owned and operated quarry. Once delivered, the stone can be further worked on by stonemasons as required.
Each stone order is securely packaged on custom-made pallets at the quarry, wrapped and strapped for safe and efficient shipping. A typical pallet weighs approximately 1400 kg.
Nature’s palette
Every block of Ōamaru Stone from Parkside Quarry is uniquely beautiful, showcasing a spectrum of natural tones. Choose from creamy ivory limestone with subtle bronze or gold veining, warm caramel hues, or rich ochre, rust, and copper tones for an inspiring colour palette.

Fair Faced Veneer
Fair faced limestone veneer is a new Ōamaru Stone product, designed to save our clients time onsite once delivered. Each block is put through a finishing saw at our quarry, which dresses the surface and joggles* each end (*creates joints to prevent blocks from sliding). The smoother fair faced surface is also highly durable and easy to maintain.

Ōamaru Stone is relatively easy to work with and every limestone block is unique, so the artworks are too! Fine-grained with an even texture, Ōamaru Stone is durable, easy to carve, and strong enough for undercutting.
