Description

Yellow, Rainbow, Golden Flower, Mint Sandstone

Sandstone rocks are sedimentary rocks made from small grains of the minerals quartz and feldspar. They often form in layers as seen in this picture. They are often used as building stones. For thousands, even millions of years, little pieces of our earth have been eroded broken down and worn away by wind and water. These little bits of our earth are washed downstream where they settle to the bottom of the Rivers, Lakes and Oceans. Layer after layer of eroded earth is deposited on top of each. These layers are pressed down more and more through time until the bottom layers slowly turn into rock.

Sandstones are quite Hard, Compact, Fine grained, Homogeneous rocks with good compressive strength and low water absorption property. It is hard and friable as well.
