Like outdoor paint from hodepo.
Then a coat or two of clear marine varnish.
Mind you I haven't tested this outdoors yet.
But the stone is porous and the sealant is a sealant....
SO.....

Don't spend any big money on it until one of us tests it, but I think it'll work....

Not sure what else would work outside but real Spar varnish is about $30-40.00 a quart. There are urethane products with Spar in the name (Spar is not a urethane) but like all urethane they get fine cracks almost immediately. Still might be good enough though.
There are paints made specifically for exterior use on concrete. Don't see why they wouldn't work on a somewhat porous stone.
