The two framing stone (side pieces) of the spa spillway connecting to my pool fell off. I want to replace with new ones. I'm honestly not sure where to go to look for replacements. It appears to be a natural stone, size 3x12" roughly. Pool deck is continual flagstone pavers. I'm in central NJ. Pool tile store I called said wholesalers, only work with installers. Where do people go to buy? Local big box stores don't seem to have anything useful.

That looks a lot like my pool. If so, those aren't a dedicated pool product, just natural sandstone cut to shape by the builder. Try googling for something like "natural sandstone for patio." It will probably take some hunting to find a good match.
If you're doing the work yourself, you'll need a strong angle grinder, diamond blade, and lots of patience. But it cuts like butter.
Another thing to try is locating the original builder to ask. Long term resident neighbors might help. One gave me a pointer. Found the builder's web site with my pool still in his portfolio gallery 16 years later. He's a good guy and has helped me out even though I'm not doing business with him ... yet. He'll probably get the re-plaster job when it's time for that.
Excellent, I have an angle grinder, so I went and picked up a natural flagstone block from the stone yard and am cutting to fit. I also picked up penetrating stone sealer, I assume I should be reapplying this every so often to the framing stones of the spillway and the main bottom stone of the spillway? Do you also reseal your patio flagstone every so often?

No. There's just too much of it. I pressure wash it every other year. I'm about to make a project of patching cracked mortar and re-setting loose flags, which were already there when we bought the place 4 years ago.
