Drag the slab to turn it, or use the arrow keys. Switching finish re-renders the surface — polished throws a hard specular, the abraded finishes open the surface up and knock the colour back.
Blue Agate grows in concentric bands, and a slab is those bands cut through at whatever angle the saw took, so one panel shows full rings, the next part-rings and the next a straight run of banding. Contrast is high, near-white against mid and deep blue, and it is the most graphic material we handle. One panel usually carries a whole elevation on its own; two hung side by side rarely agree with each other, and that is the material rather than a fault to design around. Polished only, like the other agates and the jaspers. It comes to us as imported block through a supply partnership, made up from cut sections on a fibreglass mesh and resin backing, and it is quoted slab by slab from photographs of the actual pieces, so the quantity available is whatever exists when you ask rather than something we can produce to order.
The other blue in this category is Dumortierite, and it is not banded — a dense blue mineral cut through with white quartz, sold by the piece and rarer. Ask for Blue Agate when you want rings, and Dumortierite when you want indigo with white running through it.

Photographs
Blue Agate in the yard
Photographs of our own blocks, slabs and finished work. Slab photography shows one slab — the block it came from is what you are quoted against.
Laid out
Blue Agate across a floor
A photograph shows one slab on a stand. This shows the stone tile after tile — where the pattern repeats, how far the tone drifts across a batch, and what the joint does to it. Every tile here is cut from a different part of the surface, the way material comes out of a real crate.
Indicative layout. Tone drift is deliberate — no two tiles from one batch match exactly, and a laid floor should never look like one photograph repeated.
In the room
Blue Agate against your wall colour
Nobody buys stone on a white background. Put Blue Agate on the floor, up the wall or across a worktop, set the colour it will actually sit against, and change the light — the same three questions every client asks on a site visit, answered before the sample ships.
A scene, not a render of your project: proportions are indicative and colour on a screen is never the colour in a room. Send us the drawings and we will lay the real slab sizes out against your setting-out.
Surface
Blue Agate, close up
The slab above turns; this is the same stone at the size it sits in your hand. Change the finish and it re-cuts.
Roughly a 130 mm span of Blue Agate, polished. A rendered preview, not a photograph of stock — ask for a physical sample before you specify.

Suitability depends on the finish, the thickness and the exposure. If you are specifying for external cladding, wet areas or heavy traffic, send us the detail and we will tell you what we would put in that position.

Asked about this stone
Blue Agate — questions buyers ask
Can you match two panels?
No. Each slab is a cut through the concentric bands at its own angle, so one shows full rings and the next a straight run — the pattern is set by the saw, not by a batch. What you can order is the panel you have seen photographed.
Can I have it honed?
Polished only. Honed is offered on the quartz materials and most of the onyx in this category; the three agates and the three jaspers are polished.
Can it be book-matched?
Book-matched panels are what we list for Onyx Miele Flower and Red Dragon Onyx, not for the agates. Raise it before you design a mirrored pair, because with Blue Agate you are working with whatever the individual slab shows.
Will it work across a large wall?
One panel is usually the whole design; several together argue rather than run on. If you need area, Grey Agate is the same ring structure with the colour taken out and takes size much better.
