The '''Granite and Sandstone quarry''' is a [[mine]] south of the [[Bandit Camp (Kharidian Desert)]]. It is the only source of [[granite]] and [[sandstone]] rocks in ''RuneScape''.

The quarry features in the [[Enakhra's Lament]] [[quest]], as both sandstone and granite are used in the quest, which occurs next to the quarry. It is also a popular place to train [[Mining]] since it is the only place that has granite rocks, which are excellent for power-training.

==Transportation==
It is possible, albeit inconvenient, to walk to the quarry from [[Shantay Pass]], due to its distance. There are at least three quicker ways to get there:
* After completing Enakhra's Lament, players can use the [[Camulet]] to teleport to [[Enakhra's Temple]], which is very near the quarry. The temple's western exit is perhaps the most convenient for granite mining. The Camulet is by a wide margin the quickest way to get to the quarry.
* Players who have completed [[Desert Treasure]] can use the Bandit Camp [[lodestone]] teleport, then run southwest.
* Players can use a [[Bandit camp teleport|Bandit Camp teleport]] scroll to teleport to the centre of the [[Bandit Camp (Kharidian Desert)|Bandit Camp]] and walk south to the quarry.
* Players can use a [[Pharaoh's sceptre]] to teleport to Jaldraocht and walk to the quarry.
* Players can use [[Magic carpet]]s to fly to the [[Bedabin Camp]], [[Pollnivneach]], or [[Sophanem]] and then walk to the quarry.
* Players with sufficient [[Slayer]] ability to have [[Slayer ring]]s can teleport to Pollnivneach and then walk to the quarry.
* The [[Broomstick]] (after completing [[Swept Away]]) is useful should players choose to bank their granite.

Note that [[Desert heat|desert heat]] can affect players walking through the desert or staying in the quarry. (Prior to January [[2007]], no water was required in the quarry. This was changed most likely to reduce [[macro]]s.) Desert heat can be avoided if a player has [[Waterskin]]s in inventory or is wearing an [[Enchanted water tiara]].

==Ores==
[[File:Quarry2.png|thumb|Rock locations.]]
This Quarry contains 28 [[Granite rock]]s that when mined, either give a 500g, 2 kg, or 5 kg piece. This requires 45 [[Mining]]. 32 [[Sandstone rock]]s are also located here. Like [[Granite]], they give 1 kg, 2 kg, 5 kg or 10 kg pieces at random. These require 35 [[Mining]]. The only other ores here are 2 [[Coal rocks]], which require 30 [[Mining]] and 4 [[Clay rock]]s which don't have a mining requirement.

For a longer stay, players should complete the ''Enakhra's Lament'' quest, as it allows access to the fountain featured during the quest, which can be used to refill waterskins. It is also recommended to bring at least three waterskins, for a longer mining trip. For this method to work, players would either have to drop their mined ores, or have their Camulet and some other teleport to bank with.
