What is Pennsylvania Bluestone?
Origin of the Name: Pennsylvania Bluestone owes its name to the predominant blue color of the stone quarried in Pennsylvania, though it also appears in hues of gray, green, rust, and lilac. This versatility in color makes Pennsylvania Bluestone a favored material for a variety of decorative and structural applications.
Formation: Formed millions of years ago during the Devonian Period, Pennsylvania Bluestone is the result of sand deposits from large inland seas in the Catskill delta region. Comprising feldspar, sand, and mica, among other minerals, it is notably free of organic residues, making it clear and vibrant.
The Versatility of Bluestone
Ideal Applications: Bluestone’s durability and aesthetic appeal make it perfect for patios, walkways, and step treads. It's particularly popular for creating inviting outdoor spaces with its various flagstone options. Learn more about our flagstone products.
Color Range: While traditionally noted for its blue and gray tones, our full-color stone includes a spectrum of colors such as brown, green, rust, and even lilac, providing flexibility in design and application.
