Irregular Blue gives a relaxed pattern. Cut pieces build a formal grid for terraces and entries. Treads give steps a finished edge. ## Keeping the color Bluestone darkens when wet. A matte sealer can protect the surface without changing the look much, while a gloss sealer deepens the blue. Never seal wet stone. Wash it, let it dry five to ten days with sprinklers off, then seal in the cool morning.
