Random Stone- stone sorted and selected for size, shape and colour.

Split Random Stone- random stone split to expose its internal colour and texture and to produce a better-shaped stone.

Split Block Stone- slabs of stone split and cropped into rectangular blocks of uniform thickness but varying heights and lengths.

The stone exhibits a warm and appealing range of colours including off white, light grey, buff, ochre, sienna, mauve and burgundy.

The sandstone is from the Devonian - Carboniferous geological age and has a strong and durable fabric due to post-depositional processes causing recrystallisation and locking of the quartz grains. The dominant quartz-mica mineral assemblage is a very stable one.
