Naturally found on the Navajo reservation, tufa stone is a compressed material formed from volcanic ash. Unlike sandstone, it is easy to carve and--when used for casting--it imparts a distinctive texture to the metal as it cools due to its porous nature. Tufa casting is a meticulous and intricate process that requires a distinct skillset and entails multiple steps, showcasing the dedication and craftsmanship involved in its creation.
