Luminous crushed stones are used in Concrete, Pavers and marble products as an exposed aggregate. Luminous crushed stones enhance safety by marking the pathway in Low Light Level conditions. In daylight the Luminous crushed stones have a slight green color and can be supplied in after-glow colors of Yellow-green.
