| bluestone |
Bluestone from Pennsylvania and New York is commercially known as bluestone or Pennsylvania Bluestone. These are a group of
sandstones defined as feldspathic greywacke. The sand-sized grains from which bluestone is constituted were deposited in the
"Catskill Delta" during the Middle to Upper Devonian Period of the Paleozoic Era, approximately 370 to 345 million years ago. If the
initial deposit was made under slow moving water the ripples of the water action on the sand or mud will be revealed. This deposition
process may be seen today at any ocean beach in shallow water or in a stream bed where conditions allow it to be observed. The term
"bluestone" is derived from a deep blue-colored sandstone first found in Ulster County, New York.. bluestone from various quarries
right here in ulster county have been historically world renowned for it's durability, color and quality.
