Greg - are you reffering to the darker of the 'blue' lithology or the darker 
of the material period?

The last i hurd the dark - ie brown material is less weathered - it still 
has the oxide veining intact. the 'blue' material has had all of the metal 
(oxides) leached out through repetitive wetting via salt water. there seems 
to be a continuum of 'blue' lithology material ranging from very light in 
color almost off white to a dingy brownish blue. some of the more weathered 
stones have a rind of black material on the outside that represents all of 
the metals that have been elached out.
