Sandstone with iron content will likely be reddish brown in color. Sandstone made with carbon content can be black or dark grey in color. Siliceous sandstones will be white. Argillaceous sandstone comes in earth tones like sand or buff colors. Sandstones come from the ocean bottoms, river bottoms, and beaches and are sedimentary rocks.
Using natural sandstone is a popular choice for outdoor projects. Its soft look gives a serene relaxed feeling to outdoor spaces. Many people like to use it for their pool surrounds and other areas of the patio. Paths and walkways are so inviting when they are laid using natural sandstone.
