Hokie Stone
Hokie Stone is a grey dolomite—limestone rock found near Blacksburg, in western Virginia. It gets its name from the common nickname attributed to students and alumni of Virginia Tech. Hokie Stone is exclusively quarried for use by Virginia Tech projects. The stone is the primary finishing and façade material on many Virginia Tech campus buildings. ==Geology== Hokie Stone is limestone infused with magnesium and calcium under intense pressure and temperature. Formation of the stone began 450 million years ago when the area that is now the Southwestern part of Virginia was covered by a shallow sea.〔 Hokie Stone with impurities such as siltstone and sandstone is multi-colored and found on some newer Blacksburg campus structures.
