Is Mountain Bluestone a sandstone?
Yes, as it is listed here. Mountain Bluestone is sold under the bluestone name, but MSI lists it as a sandstone, and its description calls it a fine natural sandstone. Its color field is blue, and the description puts it at a deep charcoal gray with a hint of blue undertone. So a buyer searching for bluestone pavers and one searching for sandstone pavers can land on the same stone, and both names describe it.
Which sizes come in 1 inch and 1 1/2 inch?
Mountain Bluestone is made in two thicknesses, and the thickness is part of each product name. The 1 1/2 inch line comes in 12x12, 18x18, 24x24, 12x24, 18x24, 24x36 and 24x48. The 1 inch line comes in 18x18, 24x24, 12x24, 18x24, 24x30 and 24x48, plus one listing without a size in its title. So 18x18, 24x24, 12x24, 18x24 and 24x48 come in both thicknesses, while 12x12 and 24x36 come only at 1 1/2 inch and 24x30 only at 1 inch. Within each thickness the sizes run from a one foot square to a two by four foot plank.
What is a flamed finish?
Every Mountain Bluestone paver here has a flamed finish, and the finish is named in every product title. Flamed is a textured surface finish, different from the natural faces of Venetian Grey and Rustic Canyon and the split face of Fossil Rustic. Because the same finish runs through the whole line, a 12x12 landing and a 24x48 plank from Mountain Bluestone match in texture as well as color. In color, every Mountain Bluestone piece shares the same charcoal gray with a hint of blue, in every size and both thicknesses.
Natural sandstone stepping stones
Venetian Grey, Rustic Canyon and Fossil Rustic are sandstone pavers with a natural finish, sold as stepping stones for garden paths. Venetian Grey is a soft gray and Rustic Canyon a beige and gold stone, both in 12x18 and described as hand cut. Fossil Rustic is a sandy beige to brown stone with a split face, offered in a variety of sizes so a single path can mix larger and smaller stones. All three are 1 inch thick and listed for outdoor floors. Each stone has an irregular, natural shape and surface.
Which outdoor sandstone pavers are there?
For a full patio or terrace surface, Mountain Bluestone is the sandstone to look at, with sizes from 12x12 to 24x48 and two thicknesses. For a garden path made of separate stones, the Venetian Grey, Rustic Canyon and Fossil Rustic stepping stones are the choice. Every sandstone paver on this page is listed for outdoor floors, and none has a listing for interior floors or pool areas. The sizes run from 12x12 squares through 12x24, 18x24 and 24x24 to the large 24x36 and 24x48 pieces.
Sandstone next to other natural stone
Next to the other natural stone pavers here, sandstone adds the charcoal gray of Mountain Bluestone beside the beige of most travertine, and the gray, beige and brown tones of the stepping stones. For travertine, marble and limestone pavers, see stone pavers, and for porcelain bluestone looks in a large format, see 24x48 pavers. Every paver type is in pavers.
