Szydłowiec sandstone originates from the Jurassic period. It usually has white colour, and less often, yellow. It can be fine-grained or medium-grained, and sometimes elastic. The sandstone consists of layers that vary from a few centimetres to a few metres, with mudstones and claystones present in between. The stone can reach up to 180 m (590.6 ft.) thick. It is characterized by its separateness and blockability. The Szydłowiec sandstone is used in manufacturing tiles, lining, socles, sculptures, and construction aggregate.[1]
