• POSTAER SANDSTEIN -mE- is a mid-grained, pebbley bound Elbsandstone from a yellowish-brown to a partially gray colour. Dark brown ironhydroxide concretions or light gray cavernous inclusions are characteristic of this material.
  It frequently displays a zonate structure between yellow-grays and brown layers which, consequently, gives the material a lively appearance.
