stone dust

Crusite quarry residue

Stone dust is finely crusite from mechanical crushing, quarrying, or cutting stone.

It's coarser than powder but finer than sand, used as a base material for pavers and flagstones, as a compactable fill, or mixed into soil to improve drainage.

Also called crusher dust or quarry dust.
