Understanding Banded & Unbanded Sandstone
Banded Sandstone
Banded Sandstone features distinct layers or stripes of different colours and textures. These natural bands are formed over millions of years due to varying sediment deposits.
Banded Sandstone’s visual appeal lies in its striking patterns and contrasts, making it a popular choice for feature walls, landscaping projects, and architectural elements.
Each band tells a story of geological history, adding depth and character to the stone.
Key Characteristics
- Visual Interest: The bands create a unique and eye-catching appearance.
- Variety: Available in various colour combinations and patterns.
- Applications: Ideal for decorative elements, cladding, and landscaping.
Unbanded Sandstone
Unbanded Sandstone, on the other hand, has a more uniform colour and texture throughout the stone. It offers a consistent and clean look, which can be desirable for projects requiring a more subtle and elegant appearance.
Unbanded Sandstone is often used for flooring, paving, and walling where a smooth, continuous aesthetic is preferred.
Key Characteristics
- Consistency: More uniformity of colour and texture without distinct bands.
- Elegance: Provides a clean and sophisticated look.
- Applications: Suitable for flooring, paving, and seamless walling.

Do sandstone colours change over time?
Sandstone can change colour as it ages due to the oxidation of its components. This is part of the charm and surprise of using this versatile, sustainable, and 100% Australian-sourced Gosford Quarries Sandstone.
Understanding Oxidation in Sandstone
Oxidation is a natural chemical process that occurs when minerals in the sandstone react with oxygen and moisture in the environment. This reaction often involves iron-bearing minerals such as hematite or goethite.
The Impact on Sandstone Colour
Oxidation can significantly alter the appearance of sandstone, enhancing its aesthetic appeal by adding rich, earthy tones. This process can result in a variety of colour changes, including:
- Red and Brown Tones: Iron minerals oxidise to form iron oxides, imparting red, brown, and orange hues to the sandstone.
- Yellow and Gold Tones: The presence of goethite, an iron oxide hydroxide, can result in yellow and gold shades.
- Darker Shades: Prolonged oxidation can deepen the colour, adding complexity and depth to the natural stone.
Benefits of Oxidation in Sandstone
- Enhanced Visual Appeal: Oxidation can create unique patterns and colour variations, making each piece of sandstone distinct.
- Aesthetic Versatility: Oxidised sandstone can complement various architectural styles, from rustic to contemporary designs.
Example in Practice
At Gosford Quarries, we embrace the natural beauty of oxidised sandstone. Our “Quarry-Run” Non-Select range often includes stones with these rich, naturally occurring hues, providing an economical and visually striking option for various projects.
