Mt. Whitney Cemetery, Lone Pine, Inyo County, California

Some Cemetery Stones Created from
Dolomite* Quarried from Local Quarries

Several of the cemetery stones located in the Mt. Whiney Cemetery that I photographed below were constructed of locally quarried dolomite. (These photographs were taken by Pat and Peggy B. Perazzo in late September 2010.) You can learn more about Inyo County Cemeteries on the Inyo County CAGenWeb Project web site presented by Denise S. Flynn, County Coordinator. (* In the old geology books, the stone quarried near Lone Pine was referred to as “marble,” but today the stone is only referred to as “dolomite” in the Lone Pine area.)
