About Red Sandstone
We are offering here the Red Sandstone that is a naturally-occurring block, found 4-5 blocks below natural red sand deposits, but only in Mesa biomes. The offered Sandstone will not generate beneath red sand, as orange terracotta does this instead. The sandstone is that color because of the high levels of iron that have oxidized, or rusted. It has been widely used as a building stone across those regions where it outcrops. Red Sandstone is resistant to saline air so the rock is often used as cladding for the exterior of buildings and garden and landscaping products in coastal areas.
Exceptional Durability in Diverse SettingsRed Sandstones high compressive strength and weather resistance make it suitable for a variety of environments, from private residences to commercial projects.
