Recognize This Stone?
I posted this in the masonry forumn too so sorry for double post. Just trying to cover all my bases.

I'm remodeling this room and I need to patch this floor in a few spots. None of my suppliers have been able to come up with anything close to this stone for the patch.

Do any of you recognize this stone and can you point me in the right direction for finding it?

It reminds me of Tennessee crab orchard but it comes in lots of different colors/varieties.

Looks like rough-cut slate to me(that's what i call it). Just not cut into squares.

Unguaged random flagstone slate probably from the Midwest Iron Belt region. The grout looks to be masonry cement.
