What is Bluestone?

Bluestone was formed about 345 to 370 million years ago, the sand-sized grains that compose bluestone were delicately deposited in the ancient Catskill Delta. Today, quarried predominantly in Pennsylvania, bluestone reveals its signature blue-gray hue—a result of its unique mineral blend. Widely used in landscaping, its cool blue tones, with hints of gray and brown, infuse outdoor spaces with a sense of tranquility and sophistication.

Pennsylvania bluestone is a sandstone of unparalleled beauty. There is a spectrum of hues, from rustic rust to serene blue, depending on the quarry's location. Meanwhile, Shenandoah bluestone, a limestone native to Virginia, starts its journey with a soft grayish-blue tint, evolving over time into a deeper, more mature gray.
