Red Sandstone is a classic sedimentary rock formed due to the cementing together of the sand sized grains resulting into a solid form. Calcium carbonate, silica and iron combine with the sand grains and grow in the form of crystals around sand grains. Slowly these will be transformed into a solid form naturally. The hardness of Red Sandstone depends on the cementing material, which is either siliceous or ferruginous. Rajasthan is the largest producer of the Red Sandstone in India. Various uses of the red sandstone include roofing, flooring, paving, paneling, beams, pillars, arches, doors & window sills, wall facing, fence posts, mile stones etc.
