Note: All Bamstone bluestone products are cut and made to order with world class machinery and Australian-made standards.
A diamond sawn finish is achieved by cutting the stone with a circular diamond tipped saw blade. The appearance is lighter, achieves a slip resistant finish and is well suited to external paving areas. Diamond sawn is a popular finish as the end result shows the full spectrum of colour tones and character within the natural stone itself.

Meticulously extracting the finest natural Australian bluestone since 1975. Our bluestone products are available in a variety of finishes and can be tailored to meet the unique requirements of civil, commercial and residential projects across Australia and around the world.
Our story is centred in historical origins, unique craft, and natural landscapes. A story of discovery, hard work, family and beauty.
The Australian landscape is one of stark contrasts and rugged beauty. The harshness of the environment has woven the natural elements together to forge materials that are tough in formation and stunning in appearance.
The volcanic lava flow of Mount Rouse journeyed down the mountain, across the valley to the coast of Port Fairy in Victoria’s south-west, resting in place for thousands of years as it formed to create Australian basalt bluestone, a stone equal in both strength and beauty.
This rich basalt stone source was discovered by Don and Yvonne Bartlett in 1975. The uniqueness of the stone, and the opportunity that lay within the soil, was the beginning of Bamstone. A quarry facility was erected on the site, where all extraction and pre-processing of raw materials continues to take place.
Bamstone has remained in the family for three generations, with Michael and Cheryl Steel taking over the reins in 2001, and Sam Steel joining the team in 2021. The sense of family is evident throughout the business, we operate with deep pride in all we produce and genuinely value the relationships with customers, partners and each other.
We are intrinsically Australian. Our product and our people. We remain local, placing value and respect on the land. We are dedicated to ensuring the longevity of this natural resource.
