Your best bet is to lift and flag and see what lurks beneath your patio!
Quarry dust is a waste product obtained from the crushing process during quarrying activities. It is a byproduct of the extraction of rock, typically limestone, granite, or basalt, which is then crushed to produce aggregates used in construction and other applications. Quarry dust is sometimes referred to as stone dust, rock dust, or crusher dust. Usually, its mixed with cement but in some cases it's used to raise levels before paving.
I couldn't give advice on whether its set or still crumbly or not!

The dust wasn't mixed with anything will it be difficult to remove It was laid on top of my old slabs but raised up with the quarry dust to make the garden level as previously my garden ran in a downward slope
