Rainbow Sandstone
Rainbow sandstone brings together vibrant reds, oranges, purples, and golds in one stone, with natural quartzite flecks that catch the light. It's the boldest, most colourful option in our sandstone range. As a direct manufacturer in Morbi, India, SNK Surfaces supplies Rainbow sandstone worldwide with our main markets in the UK, Ireland, and Europe in container loads or trade quantities.
What is Rainbow sandstone?
Rainbow sandstone is a natural stone known for its intense colour variation—swirls of orange, purple, gold, and beige running through every slab. It's usually supplied with a sawn, honed finish rather than a riven one, which gives it a smoother, more contemporary look and helps the colours stand out even more. It's a softer stone than some of our other sandstones, with small natural surface pitting that's part of its character rather than a flaw. It's supplied in blocks, slabs, and tiles.
