A fine to medium grained quartzo feldspathic sandstone. The quartz averages around 45% and the remaining mineralogy being feldspars, lithics, clay, micas and iron oxides. The latter being 10 to 15% in the more heavily banded areas. (Liesegang banding). Colours are stable and permanent.

View projects with Wondabyne sandstone

Sandstone from the Piles Creek quarry has been quarried and sought after for nearly 50 years because of the oxidizing characteristic of the deposit. The ‘cream’ range is lightly oxidizing and the ‘guinea gold’ is similar to the oxidizing sandstones of the Sydney ‘Yellow Block” region. The percentage composition of iron oxides and siderite is proportional to the degree of oxidization.
