Kanab Picture Sandstone Sculpture

THE SCIENCE

Sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock, composed mainly of sand, but also other elements, notably cement, which creates those darker lines. Over millions of years, sands and other deposits accumulate and after a while, the pressure of these deposits hardens the sand and turns it into rock. 

THE STORY

This striking piece is made from naturally formed picture sandstone found in Utah, USA, and simply sandblasted into these natural-looking shapes. Reminiscent of cliffs and mesas, these sculptural forms would look superb on a mantelpiece or make a great addition to a collection.
