What if the Statue of Liberty had been built from bluestone?
For nearly 140 years, Lady Liberty has stood over New York Harbor 305 feet tall and weighing more than 200 tons.
Built in bluestone, the project would require roughly:
31 tons of material, more than 300 individually cut pieces, and between $14,000 and $22,000 in stone alone before fabrication, freight, or installation.
Unlike copper, bluestone doesn't develop a green patina over time.
It weathers slowly, holds its character, and requires very little to keep looking like itself.
After decades of sun, storms, salt air, and changing seasons, it would still be doing what natural stone does best: standing the test of time.
