Mindy - The gravel is known in these parts as Blackstar - a 3/4" clear gravel. The flagstone is known by many names and will depend on the stone yard or quarry that stocks/carries it. It can come from a different strata of the same quarry and look completely different - mother nature strikes again ! It can be called Imperial or Cheyenne in these parts of Texas. Flagstone is one of those things you have to go and see for yourself and choose based upon what you see. Its constantly changing.
