bluestone
Bluestone is a broad term that encompasses several types of rocks including sandstone and limestone, which are compact sedimentary rocks, and basalt, a hard volcanic rock. Its name comes from its typically blue color, which can range from light to dark shades. These stones are commonly used in construction, sculpture and landscaping for their durability and aesthetic appeal. They're most famously used in the construction of Stonehenge in England. However, the term 'bluestone' can differ based on geographical locations. For example, in the U.S., it usually refers to a type of blue-tinted sandstone, while in the U.K. and Australia, 'bluestone' often refers to basalt.
