About New England Blue Range 12×12 Natural Cleft
New England Blue Range 12×12 Natural Cleft is a dimensioned natural stone product selected for architectural and landscape contracting applications. Sourced primarily from quartzitic sandstone deposits, this material is characterized by its distinct split-face surface texture, known as a natural cleft finish. This processing method preserves the geologic layers of the stone, resulting in a tactile and visual depth that distinguishes it from thermal or honed finishes.
The “Blue Range” designation refers to the stone’s variegated color palette. While the primary base tones consist of deep blues and slate greys, natural mineral deposits contribute secondary hues ranging from lavender and green to rust and bronze. This 12×12 square format allows for modular installation patterns, offering a structured geometry while maintaining the organic aesthetic of natural sedimentary rock.

Applications & Material Features of New England Blue Range 12×12 Natural Cleft
The natural cleft surface of this stone provides a degree of slip resistance inherent to the material’s split texture, making it a frequent choice for exterior hardscapes. As a dense sandstone, New England Blue Range is utilized in flatwork applications such as patios, walkways, and entry pads where durable, natural paving is required.
The 12×12 modular size facilitates efficient layout in running bond, stacked bond, or patterned designs. The material’s density allows it to withstand environmental weathering, while the variation in cleft depth adds shadow lines and character to installed surfaces. Unlike manufactured concrete pavers, each piece exhibits unique graining and coloration derived from its mineral composition.

What does Natural Cleft mean?
Natural cleft refers to the surface texture created when the stone is split along its natural sedimentary layers, resulting in a slightly uneven, textured face rather than a smooth, machine-cut finish.
What is the primary material of this product?
This product is typically quarried from dense sandstone deposits, often geologically similar to Pennsylvania Bluestone, known for its durability and distinct color range.
Are the dimensions exactly 12×12?
Natural stone is generally sold by nominal dimensions. While the target size is 12 inches by 12 inches, slight tolerances in length, width, and squareness are standard for natural cleft products.
What colors are included in the Blue Range?
The Blue Range includes a mix of blue and grey tones, frequently accompanied by natural variegations of lilac, green, brown, or rust caused by mineral deposits within the stone.
Is the thickness uniform on natural cleft tiles?
Due to the splitting process used to create the natural cleft face, thickness can vary slightly between pieces compared to gauged or calibrated stone products.
