bluestone (argillaceous sandstone, <sandstone by composition: aggregate type>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Any of several types of stone that is dense, fine-grained and splits easily into thin smooth slabs; often used as flagstone. Bluestone is a commercial or cultural term that may encompass types of basalt, sandstone, or limestone, depending on the region in which it is used. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種藍灰色的長石砂岩,密度高、顆粒細緻,且容易分裂成光滑薄片,因此常做為鋪面石板使用。 |
Dutch ..... Blauwgrijze veldspaatachtige zandsteen, die compact en fijnkorrelig is en eenvoudig splijt in dunne, gladde platen; wordt om deze reden vaak gebruikt als plavuis. |
Spanish ..... Nombre comercial de una arenisca feldespática gris azulada que es densa y de grano fino, y que se divide fácilmente en placas suaves y finas. Por esta razón se la usa a menudo como laja. |
