which would you choose? I know that Shale has some shimmer and Quarry does not...but besides that, they look pretty similar in the pot.

SHALE!!

Shows up much better. Quarry is an ok crease color, but Shale is more versatile.

Shale.

Quarry is very blah on me, I don't like it at all.

Shale would be my choice. One of the most beautiful and versatile eyeshadows, IMO. Quarry is sort of boring.

Shale and Quarry are verrry different colorwise. Shale is much more pigmented and a gorgeous toned-down plum. Quarry is matte and much more brown with a hint of pinky-purple. Both are great for achieving different looks, but I prefer Shale.

Shale for me too! I like both, but as others have said, Shale is much more versatile.. I use Quarry as a crease color only..

I know this post is pretty much done, but I felt compelled to chime in and say that I recently bought BOTH and that they're lovely layered (with shale over quarry). It helps bring out the warmth of shale! I'm loving it on my lids with sketch and print in the crease/outer-V!

Get Shale, the only time I really use Quarry is in the crease and outer v for a slight darkening with purple toned colors.
