What is Rainbow Sandstone?
Rainbow Sandstone, also known as Khatu Rainbow Sandstone, is a fine-grained sedimentary stone formed over millions of years through natural mineral deposition. The unique layered patterns and vibrant color movement are created by iron oxides and mineral variations within the stone.
Unlike plain beige or grey sandstones, Rainbow Sandstone delivers dramatic aesthetics with natural swirling veins that resemble marble patterns while maintaining the durability of sandstone.
