Hmmm... I'll take a picture in the light tomorrow and post that picture.

I actually don't know 'what' they are. I assumed they were sandstone
(they're light brown) and I assumed they were for walkways and wall
facades.

They don't have much of a grain though. And they seem to peel off in very
thin layers (but they're an inch thick and the peeling is only about
1/32" thick or so).

Lets guess that they are some sort of paving stone without a lot of
grain.


I'm not sure what a paving stone is actually, so, I'll say they're a flat
light brown sandy-feeling stone about an inch thick with not much of a
grain.
