Sandstone Sydney Buff and Himalayan from Sareen Stone

Sydney Buff Sandstone

The stone that Sydney sits on is also one of the most popular stones used extensively in many residential & commercial architectural, landscaping and paving projects in Australia.

In particular Sydney sandstone dates from the Triassic Period. Six kilometres of sandstone and shale lie under Sydney. In Sydney sandstone, the ripple marks from the ancient river that brought the grains of sand are distinctive and easily seen, telling geologists that the sand comes from rocks formed between 500 to 700 million years ago far to the south.

This means that the highest part of the visible lines almost always faces approximately south. It is a very porous stone and acts as a giant filter. It is composed of very pure silica grains and a small amount of the iron mineral siderite in varying proportions, bound with a clay matrix. It oxidises to the warm yellow-brown colour that is notable in the buildings which are constructed of it.
