Has anyone used C-stone aggregate? I'm wondering what it's general weight per cf is in comparison to crushed concrete aggregate. Thanks in advance.

Tim, it depends on how it is made and how it is graded.
As a well graded road stone, a compacted standard proctor density would be in the range of 100 to 115 lb.ft3 at around 18% H2O. LA Abraision can range from 20 to over 50% loss.
Use in concrete is limited because of LA, F/t, SO$ Soundness and of course higher water demand than conventional aggs.
It does make an edxcellent raod base stone due to the ability of the fines to continue to cement themselves. Low volume roads are a good candidate for the material too
