Red-brown, quartzitic sandstone with very fine and highly compacted grain.
It is mainly constituted by quartz and has high levels of iron oxide-hydroxide that grant it its characteristic tone. There are also smaller amounts of muscovite and other heavy minerals.
Its high compactness makes it a versatile stone because it can be used for all types of surfacing, from facades to pavings and kerbs when its structure is closer to plate type.
