Matt White a pitcher for the Dodgers purchased land from a relative. He noticed rock ledges and had it evaluated by a geologist. There are an estimated 24 million tons of this rock. At $100/ton the whole thing is worth a couple billion dollars.
Here's what the article said:
"It's basically a slabby rock that can be used for sidewalks, building faces and stone walls," Pannish said from his Amherst, Mass., office. "You can use it for a lot of other things, like flagstone on a patio. There are some sidewalks right here on campus that are made of that same rock."
What is slabby rock - limestone, slate, something else?
