Kershaw Plant
The Kershaw site was originally operated as a dimension stone quarry, producing attractive coarse-grained granite. Dimension stone from the area is still marketed as “Kershaw Pink”, “Pink Kershaw”, or just “Kershaw”. After a long period of inactivity, the quarry was eventually reopened and has been providing armor stone and crushed stone for the local market. In 2018 Luck stone purchased the Kershaw Plant, which is located west of Highway 601 about four miles south of Kershaw and 15 miles north of Camden. The plant is currently being upgraded, and when complete will produce Base, 4’s, 789’s, 57’s, 10’s, and a variety of rip rap and other armor stone products.
More information coming soon.
The Kershaw operation mines a coarse grained granite of Late Paleozoic age- about 300 million years old. Formerly quarried for dimension stone, the granite is a noticeable light gray and white color with large pink minerals. The clear gray quartz and white plagioclase feldspar interlocks and contrasts visually with the large pink potassium feldspar crystals. Minor biotite mica is dispersed throughout the rock causing a peppered appearance. These appealing attributes in dimension stone also contribute to making a cubical aggregate product of high quality for the construction industry.
