Turkish Stone Stains

I just got my pool deck installed with ivory turkish stone/marble one week ago today. What suppose to be ivory stone what I got was red or Rust through out the deck. Also the stone is bleeding the red rust on my deck and staining it. This stuff also staining my clothes. Is this normal?  Or should have these red stone that are bleeding red rust on my deck be replaced with what I orderd? Also What is the rule of thumb for quality. If you ordered Ivory and you received a red brick with approx half of the deck should I demand this to be changed?

	If they installed the wrong color/material then they need to replace it. If the Ivory stone is bleeding out rust then you need to determine if that is a natural property of that material, in which case there may be a treatment or sealer to cure this.  It sounds like they changed stones and you have a problem with their substitute. They need to replace the wrong material if that is the case.
