Testing was conducted throughout the Rainbow Quarries near Goodsprings, Nevada in 1995 to determine the consistency of the deposit of striated meta-quartzite. Las Vegas Rock, Inc. hired Bondar Clegg, Inchcape Testing Services to perform testing of samples. The sample lines were collected by Las Vegas Rock, Inc., together with the Federal Government (BLM), to insure the validity of the samples tested.
Suggestion: Meta-Quartzite Boulders can be cleaned by simply scrubbing them with a plastic bristle or stainless brush and a handful of wet/clean sand, or power washed with vinegar or diluted muratic acid (See UNLV Letter).
Suggestion: It is recommended to use a vapor barrier or soil treatment to protect against weeds and alkali in problem areas. (Please see UNLV letter).
