Ashlar is an architectural term describing a type of masonry. It is the most common type of masonry seen today, formed of courses (layers) of squared, usually brick-shaped stone blocks. It was the mode of laying stones par excellence among the Greeks and Romans, called by the latter opus quadratum, a term still in use in some quarters.

Ashlar is a type of ancient stone often used to create images of Druidic gods. It was a traditional freemasonary medium from those times and Druids utilised the natural carvability of it for statues and idols
Oh, Babaylan, it was Asher in the Anne Rice novels. Hence the adaption to Lasher when his name was mis heard by the mayfair witch. Her mistake was later revealed when the being took human from.

Ashlar was a character in Anne Rice novel..i think. Why don't u check out Anne Rice's The mayfair witches/lasher/taltos. He is not actually a druid god but he belonged to a race of "tall" beings

It's a type of stonework, not a type of stone. It's more common from the Mediterranean style of stonework than the Celts. I haven't heard of any specific significance within the Celtic world for that type of stonework.
