Hi,

just wondering if anyone could please help me put a name to the type
of rock used (as a stepping stone) in this picture;

I'd like to copy the path here, but need the name of the stone!

It's obviously red slate, one of the more scarce colors. Chances of
finding an exact match is slim. It behooves anyone doing a project
with natural materials to obtain extra. Even with manmade project
materials one would need a lot number for an exact match. I would
bring a sample to various stone dealers to see if they can come up
with a close match. If the stone is from a local quarry you may get
lucky. And keep in mind that colors fade, even stone, and stone wears
(just from exposure to the elements) and develops a patina... freshly
extracted stone even if from the same quarry will look very different
from yours.
