They are not bricks. Bricks are made from clay and usually pressed
into a mold of some type for uniformity. The rock used to build the
Meteorite Museum was sandstone found in the area. It varies in
thickness and is cleaved to make the sizes needed for a particular
application. I personally have a piece that shows a definite wave pattern.

Best,
John Gwilliam
