Tap Water Folkestone, a sedimentary rock formed in the limestone hills of the UK, is known by many names such as Blue Mountain, Lake District and more. It is the deposit of very fine calcite crystals, which is very fine-grained and transparent. As it is formed in such high pressure, it is not surprising that it contains very high levels of calcium, magnesium and iron. Its name was derived from its blue colour due to the minerals that are contained within it. They are formed from magma eruptions that happen mostly in Alaska and Canada. The deposits are usually huge and have been accumulating there for decades.

Bluestone is now a popular natural tile for use in houses, and has become increasingly popular since the Romans started using it for this purpose. Its name comes from the Latin word meaning ''white stone''. Today, its use continues to be widely recognised across a variety of settings. You will often find it used in the kitchen to help enhance its appearance.
