'''Sandstone''' is an item that can only be mined from [[sandstone rock]]s at the [[Western desert mining site]] (Quarry) south of the [[Bandit Camp (Kharidian Desert)|Bandit Camp]] in the [[Kharidian Desert]]. In the quarry, as in the desert, [[Desert heat]] will continually reduce the player's [[constitution|life points]] unless the player has [[waterskin]]s in the inventory, or is wearing an [[Enchanted water tiara]].

Sandstone respawns quickly, so a player can mine continuously at a group of only 3-4 rocks. When sandstone is mined, the player randomly receives one of the four sizes of sandstone blocks. When wearing [[Varrock armour]] and the armour effect activates, the size of the second block of sandstone will be the same as the first block.

Sandstone is tradeable and can be sold on the [[Grand Exchange]], but it is in very low demand because it currently has no known use in ''RuneScape'' other than in the quest ''[[Enakhra's Lament]]'' to make part of [[Lazim]]'s statue and can be power-mined for fast XP.

A player must have a [[Mining]] level of 35 or greater to mine sandstone, which yields the following experience depending on the size the sandstone block mined:
