	Ferd Mueller President and CEO of Siloam Stone, Inc.
	Siloam Stone, Inc. was founded in 1973 by Ferd Mueller, a Ceramic Engineer and entrepreneur. The original mine site was opened in 1955 for the rich fire clay deposit which was ideal for refractories manufacturing. The fireclay mineral is still utilized today in the manufacturing process of structural clay products.

Mr. Mueller, who has always had a high degree of interest in landscape design and stone products, believed the stone deposit had excellent potential for landscape and masonry applications.

Indeed, Mr. Mueller was right. The stone deposit, in geological terms, is part of the Dakota Formation which is well known for very high quality sandstone.

The outstanding durability of Siloam Stone makes it suitable for even the most extreme conditions. It has excellent resistance to erosion and freeze-thaw conditions, as well as, very good load bearing strength.

The Siloam deposit is a uniquely stratified, or layered sandstone ranging in thickness from 1" to 24". The physical characteristics, including color and texture, are also very unique. The earth tone colors range from buff to gray, with hues and striations of brown, gold, rose, and burnt sienna.
