For all porphyry paver lovers, there is a great wallpaper for your iPhone. Go to Settings>Brightness and Wallpaper>Wallpaper and select the grey porphyry fan pattern.
If you prefer the Copper Mountain Porphyry, just save this picture and select it from your camera roll for wallpaper.
We got excited about the subject and found a hardscape app that allows you to add porphyry to your job site photos.
It is from Home Revivals, llc. Below is their review:

Porphyry’s composition determines its high compression strength, resistance to stains, slip resistance, and high freeze/thaw ratings. The stone is the most popular paver in Europe, and is favored for its flexibility in design, beauty, durability and low maintenance requirements. ADA Compliant Porphyry pavers are also adaptable to a permeable paving set. The stone is by far one of the most durable pavers in the world. These beautiful materials are available from Milestone Imports. Milestone supports the creativity of architects, planners and designers. Porphyry offers surfaces of various finishes and mixed colorings, tending towards tones of grey, gold, violet and red, depending on where it is extracted. – www.milestoneimports.com
