Kota blue stone is the classic greenish blue limestone from Rajasthan that many people simply call Kota stone. We supply Kota blue stone as floor tiles, slabs, steps and paving, cut to the size your project needs, for homes, hospitals, schools, industrial sheds and outdoor areas.
Below you will find how the stone looks, the sizes and finishes buyers ask for, where it performs well and what decides the price. With this, you can send us a complete requirement and get a correct quote quickly.
What Kota Blue Looks Like
Kota Blue has a cool base colour between grey blue and green blue. The grain is fine and tight, and the surface shows soft cloud marks and light shading rather than veins. Some pieces lean more green, others more blue.
Polishing turns the colour deeper and gives the floor a smooth, low sheen. In a natural finish the colour looks lighter and slightly dusty, with a gentle texture under the feet.
The blue and green balance changes between lots and even within one lot. We suggest you ask us for photos of the current lot, and order a whole area at one time so the shade stays close.

Sizes And Thickness We Cut
Kota Blue is split from layered beds in the quarry. We then cut and finish it in the forms most buyers need.
- Floor tiles in square sizes such as 600 x 600 mm or 2 x 2 feet.
- Slabs and random lengths for large floors, terraces and long passages.
- Cut to size pieces for steps, risers, sills, skirting and paving.
The thickness buyers ask for most often is 20 to 25 mm for indoor floors, and 25 to 40 mm for outdoor paving, ramps and areas where vehicles move. Share your sizes and we confirm what the current lot allows. Our Kota stone sizes guide lists the common options.
Finishes For Kota Blue
A natural finish leaves the split surface. It has good grip and is the usual choice for outdoor paving, ramps and wet areas.
A honed finish is smooth and matte. A polished finish gives the deep blue green look many people know from Indian homes. A leather finish has a soft texture that hides small marks. Our sandstone vs limestone paving guide helps if you are choosing a stone for outside.
Where Kota Blue Works Best
- Home floors. A polished Kota Blue floor stays cool underfoot in hot weather.
- Hospitals and schools. It handles heavy foot traffic and daily wet mopping.
- Industrial sheds. Thick pieces on a firm base take trolleys and light machines.
- Outdoor paving. In a natural finish it gives grip on paths, terraces and porches.
- Stairs. It keeps clean edges and wears slowly on treads.
What Decides The Price Of Kota Blue
We quote every order in writing, because the price depends on your exact need. These points move it most:
- Grade of the stone. Even colour with no cracks or patches costs more.
- Size and thickness. Large slabs and thick paving cost more per square foot than small tiles.
- Finish. Natural is the simplest. Honed, leather and polished each add processing.
- Quantity. Larger orders bring the cost per square foot down.
- Delivery terms. Ex factory, delivered in India, or FOB and CIF for export.

Care And Maintenance
- Sweep and mop with plain water or a mild, pH neutral cleaner.
- Do not use acid or strong toilet cleaners, which etch limestone.
- Kota is less porous than many limestones, but a penetrating sealer still helps in kitchens.
- Wipe oil and food spills quickly so they do not leave dark marks.
- Re-polish a dull floor at site with a polishing machine when needed.
Kota Blue FAQ
Is Kota Blue The Same As Kota Stone?
Kota stone comes in more than one colour. The greenish blue shade is the best known, so many people mean Kota Blue when they say Kota stone.
Is Kota Blue Good For Outdoor Use?
Yes. In a natural finish and a thickness of 25 mm or more it works well for paths, terraces and porches.
Why Do Some Pieces Look More Green Than Blue?
It is a natural stone, so the mineral mix changes slightly through the bed. That gives some pieces a greener tone and others a bluer one.
Can Kota Blue Take Vehicle Traffic?
Thicker pieces laid on a firm concrete base can take light vehicles. Tell us the use and we suggest a suitable thickness.
