Where to buy American blue stone?

There seems to be a big difference between blue stone that is locally made to the one made in China. Does anyone know where we could find American blue stone?

There are different bluestone products–from my experience the main two are the smooth, even thickness pieces and the uneven “natural” looking types. I like the look of the latter but the former is easier to use in areas where you want to closely control pitch for drainage.
