Belgian bluestone
Belgian bluestone or “Little Granite” is a limestone
with a more or less pronounced natural blue/grey
colour, which is characterized by the presence of
a large number of fossilised crinoids. This type of
bluestone is only quarried in Belgium.
- It develops a natural patina
Use: outdoors, changes due to the action of rain
and UV-rays to its original pale blue-grey colour
Use: indoors in the course of time, it develops a
deeper colour
- Bluestone is susceptible to products
and scratches
- Belgian bluestone can often contain a number
of white veins1, black lines, spots and fossils2
- Depending on the finishing, the stone has a
different look
1 “White veins“ are water veins, formed by water,
100% specific to bluestone and are not cracks as
people often assume.
2 Fossils and colour differences: stone is a
natural material formed by different perfectly
petrified fossils. So it is normal to find nests of
crustaceans in the stone.
In other words, even in one sheet of stone clear
differences in colour can be observed.
