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