Sandstone Stone Types

Sandstone (sometimes known as arenite) is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized minerals or rock grains.
Most Sandstone is composed of quartz and/or feldspar because these are the most common minerals in the Earth's crust. Like sand, sandstone may be any colour, but the most common colours are tan, brown, yellow, red, grey, pink, white and black.
Sandstone has been used for Domestic Construction and Housewares since prehistoric times, and continues to be used.
Sandstone was a popular Building Material from ancient times. It is relatively soft, making it easy to carve. It has been widely used around the world in constructing temples, homes, and other buildings. It has also been used for Artistic purposes to create Ornamental Fountains and Statues.
