What is Lilac Bluestone
New York Lilac Bluestone is a unique sand stone
found only in the Leatherstocking Region of New York,
nesseled between the Catskill and Adirondack
Mountains. New York Bluestone derives its name from
its typically blue color, we focus on a Lilac color range
from Purple to Brown.
It is marketed in two types: dimensional (architectural
grade) used for stairsteps, window and door fixtures,
countertops, and tabletops, and flagstone, which is
used for walkways and patios. As sediments
fossilized into rock, minerals carried by groundwater
through rock deposits created other colors, including:
blue, green, earthtone, and lilac or a combination of
these shades. New York Lilac Bluestone is a strong,
stable stone that resists cracking and won’t discolor.
New York Lilac Bluestone is highly prized as a building
material and for adding architectural details because it
can be easily separated into slabs of desired size.
