Rainbow

Rainbow Sandstone (internationally recognized as Rainbow Multi, Khatu Rainbow, or Violet Wave Sandstone) is a fine-grained quartzitic sedimentary stone quarried from the Khatu–Nagaur formation of Rajasthan, India. Unlike uniform monochrome stones, Rainbow Sandstone is defined by its dramatic, multicolored swirling strata. Natural concentric waves of violet, plum, fiery orange, golden ochre, and warm terracotta drift across a soft cream and buff foundation. Because it forms in thick, homogeneous beds without natural split cleavage, Rainbow Sandstone is processed using diamond gang-saws and wire cutters rather than hand-split. The stone is widely specified across the UK, Europe, Australia, and North America for contemporary landscapes, luxury pool decks, exterior wall cladding, and hand-carved garden architecture. When wet or sealed, the mineral striations become deeply saturated, creating a striking focal point in exterior spaces.
