Red sandstone

Red sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock characterized by its reddish hue, which comes from iron oxide (rust) present in the minerals. It forms from the accumulation of sand-sized particles, often in river or desert environments, where they are compacted and cemented over time. Red sandstone is notable for its durability and is commonly used in construction and landscaping. It features distinct layers and can vary in texture, making it a popular choice for artistic and architectural applications. Its vibrant color adds visual interest to natural and built environments.
