6.35" Tall Sierra Sandstone Arch

This is a 6.35 tall piece of picture sandstone (Sierra sandstone) collected from the Arizona/Utah border. It has been sculpted into the shape of an arch to resemble natural sandstone formations such as the Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, Utah. The base of this specimen has been cut flat for vertical presentation.

The sandstone contains dark stripes of iron oxides, creating patterns resembling remarkable landscapes and vistas. This sandstone formation dates back approximately 120 million years.
