With 40 years’ expertise on hand, there’s not much we can’t tell you about bluestone, its properties, its qualities, its different uses and how best to feature Kanmantoo Bluestone in your next building or landscaping project. In case your question isn’t answered here, please contact us. We would love to discuss Kanmantoo Bluestone with you.
Kanmantoo Bluestone is more of a coffee brown colour. Victorian bluestone is basalt. Kanmantoo Bluestone is metamorphic biotite schist which is different to basalt, a volcanic rock.
Every piece of stone is unique in shape, size and colour. The shades of colour vary depending on our location within the quarry. The textures will also vary. If you are trying to match building stone from previous years, you will find that the variance in colour tones will be still very similar.
When you dress the stone it gives it a rock-face finish. We use a bolster and chisel to work and remove the edge of the stone creating a rock face appearance.
Depending on the product and volume required, delivery can be from 24 hours up to 3 months.
