The San Rafael Rock Quarry, also commonly known as the McNear Quarry, is a 172 acres (70 ha) granite quarry located east of San Rafael, California. Stone from the quarry has been used in many places, such as for levee maintenance in Novato and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and road improvement in Larkspur and San Francisco.[1]
