Sandstone has its own identity

Sandstone is an abundant and naturally occurring material that comes in a wide range of colours, properties and qualities. Sandstone is an highly sustainable building product.

Wollombi sandstone is an excellent quality medium to fine grain sandstone with subtle pastel colours and excellent properties. The natural sedimentary or banding are not clearly visible. 

This sandstone was formed during the Permian Period 300-250 Mya, rendering it older than the Sydney sandstones (Triassic Period 250-200 Mya).

It is considered a 'free stone', being homogeneous and easily worked in all directions thus making it ideal for detailed carving also.
