Real natural stone, thin-cut for veneer installation. Quarried, harvested, and hand-selected from New England quarries, mountains, fields, and woodlands. Not concrete. Not cultured. The actual stone our region was built from, sliced thin so it can go anywhere.
Thompson Stone organizes its lineup by how the stone is cut, not by stone type — because the same Getty Grey looks completely different in Ledge than it does in Square & Rec. Pick your cut first, then the stone that matches your color story.
Thin strips and taller rectangles of natural stone — clean horizontal lines, architectural feel. Ledge is the most-installed cut for modern New England exteriors. Strip reads similar but with more height variation for a stronger texture.
Browse Ledge & Strip
Irregular, geometric pieces of natural stone (Mosaic) and traditional weathered round stones (Rounds). The most organic, rustic look — perfect for traditional New England farmhouses, historic restorations, and fieldstone-feel installations.
Browse Mosaic & Rounds
Natural stone dimensionally shaped into square and rectangular pieces. The most formal cut — ashlar-pattern installations, contemporary architecture, modern fireplaces, and accent walls where geometry matters more than rustic texture.
Browse Square & RecMost "stone" veneer isn't stone. It's pigmented concrete cast in a stone-shaped mold — affordable, but it looks like what it is. Thompson Stone is the alternative: actual natural stone, thin-cut to about an inch deep so it weighs less, costs less, and installs faster than full-depth stone. But every face you see is real.
The stone comes from Thompson Stone's own quarries and the surrounding mountains, fields, and woodlands of New England. Manufactured by Getty Granite — a Connecticut family business cutting native stone since the 1980s — and hand-selected for color, variation, and quality. The result is veneer that matches the look of a house your great-grandparents could have built, because it's the same stone they would have used.

The flagship Thompson Stone product — a quarried sandstone in grey, brown, gold, and copper tones. Falls loosely into the ashlar style with some larger castle-rock-style pieces mixed in. Available in all four cuts. The stone Thompson Stone is named for.
A blended warm-tone stone with tans, browns, and golds woven through. One of Thompson Stone's most popular products — the go-to "warm New England" look for traditional homes and historic restorations. Available in all four cuts.
Hand-picked New England fieldstone — the rounded, weathered stones farmers pulled out of their fields for centuries to build the stone walls scattered across the region. Available exclusively in Mosaic cut. The most authentically New England look in the lineup.
The classic multi-color New England blend — greys, tans, rust, and the occasional deeper accent. Reads timeless, traditional, regional. Available in all four cuts. The default choice for homeowners who want their house to look like it's always been there.
A coastal-feel grey-and-tan blend named for the Rhode Island shoreline. Cooler palette than Brooklawn Blend, more variation than Getty Grey. Pairs beautifully with cedar shingles and white trim — the classic coastal New England exterior. All four cuts.
The darkest stone in the Thompson Stone lineup — charcoal, slate, and deep grey tones with subtle warm accents. Reads contemporary and dramatic. Perfect for modern home exteriors, accent walls, and fireplaces that need a statement. All four cuts.
