Sandstone is an item that can only be mined from sandstone rocks, requiring level 35 mining. Sandstone rocks are located at the Western desert mining site (Quarry) south of the Bandit Camp in the Kharidian Desert. In the quarry, as in the desert, desert heat will continually reduce the player's Hitpoints unless the player has: Waterskins in the inventory, wears a charged Circlet of water or the Desert amulet 4. Players can quickly teleport to the desert quarry by using the camulet.

Sandstone respawns quickly, so a player can mine continuously at a group of only 3-4 rocks. Thus, it can be quickly mined for fast XP. When sandstone is mined, the player randomly receives one of the four sizes of sandstone blocks.

Sandstone is tradeable and can be sold on the Grand Exchange, but it is in very low demand. It is used in the quest Enakhra's Lament to make part of Lazim's statue: 32kg for the base, and 20kg for the body.

Players typically use the Sandstorm grinder, found just west of the Quarry, where un-noted sandstone can be converted into buckets of sand. The amount of sand produced per sandstone varies, as larger chunks provide more. This comes at the cost of 50 per bucket of sand produced, and the player is required to supply their own (noted or un-noted) buckets.

Players can use 3 tick mining (3t4s) to dramatically increase sandstone yield and experience gained, though it is significantly more intensive. Buckets of sand per hour tends to range from 2000-3500 when mined normally, or 4000-6000 when tick manipulating, depending on the player's focus and proficiency. While using the Sandstorm, it is highly recommended that players bring stamina potions or other energy restoring items, as the player will likely run out of energy when running to deposit.

To increase sandstone yield, it is recommended to wear the following mining enhancers, as they have the chance to activate while mining sandstone:

Rock Type	Level	Mining gloves	Superior mining gloves	Expert mining gloves	Celestial ring / signet	Varrock armour	Mining cape
Sandstone	35	No	No	Yes	Yes	2	Yes

Expert mining gloves guarantees one extra sandstone is obtained from the rock before it depletes. Celestial ring and Varrock armour 2 or higher gives a 10% chance to mine an extra sandstone of the same size, and can be used together. Keep in mind the celestial ring will use charges extremely quickly. Mining cape gives a 5% chance to mine an extra sandstone of the same size.

Sandstone rocks cannot give gems, however clue geodes can be obtained.

Potential sandstone sizes that the player will randomly mine:

Size		XP	Examine text	Buckets of sand (grinder)
	1 kg	30	A tiny chunk of sandstone.	1
	2 kg	40	A small chunk of sandstone.	2
	5 kg	50	A medium-sized chunk of sandstone.	4
	10 kg	60	A large chunk of sandstone.	8
