Our Foundation
Neolithic Materials was established in 2020 through the merger of Erwin Gutenkunst's Neolithic Design and Tom Ricondo's Orange County Stone. This union embodies our commitment to blending the old with the new, the domestic with the imported, and the traditional with the modern.
At Neolithic, we offer a selection of off-the-shelf products, but our specialty and pride lie in custom creations. With a combined 40 years of experience in the stone industry, we possess the expertise to transform any inspiration into reality.
Grown With Love on Our Stones
Our unique look provides a definitive and sophisticated appeal that can be appreciated in any setting. We firmly believe our pieces will be met with admiring eyes, whether the piece is a stone fireplace that structurally echoes fierce monuments such as the Greek Parthenon, or a colossal stone entryway that demands the attention of anyone who passes through it.
Neolithic Materials offers the possibility to literally follow in the footsteps of those who have lived before us in your very own home.

Our Expertise & Philosophy
While we don't have a single signature product, our strength lies in our extensive knowledge and strong relationships within the industry. We've had the privilege of collaborating with top contractors in Southern California on prestigious homes, and we leverage this experience to benefit our clients.
Our expertise ensures that homeowners receive guidance on selecting suitable materials for specific applications and implementing correct installation methods for long-lasting results. Because we don't represent a single Factory or Quarry, we can offer a diverse world of possibilities.
Our Commitment to Integrity
We believe in transparency and honesty above all else. Last summer, we competed for a large project in the Los Angeles area. To accurately represent the natural stone's color range, we insisted on using mock-ups shipped directly from the quarry. Our competitors presented stone samples that had been in their yard for years.
When the customer asked if we could match our competitor's color range, we explained that we could not, as that range was not currently available from the quarry. Unfortunately, our truthfulness cost us the job initially.
However, we have no control over natural materials; we can only provide the best information on what is available at the time. As it turns out, the project came back to us six months later because our competitors were unable to supply what they had promised. This experience reinforces our commitment to honest representation of our materials.
