I really want to do this, but there are two problems to overcome.
First, I need to find a way how to fit this into my layout. Or maybe I should go with modules?
Second, I am not sure if I am able to model the quarry like scenery.
The pit could be open to the edge of the layout so that you don't have to find a place to put the whole "hole", so to speak. Not sure what other elements you want - a connection to your mainline or not, etc.
I would think that the smooth surface of carved pink or blue styrofoam would work well once painted a suitable colour. In the photos it looks almost as if the stone has been sawn out of the pit, but I suspect it's blasted with some strategically placed charges in straight lines. The boreholes (or what's left) are probably visible if you zoom in more.
