Sandstone rocks are a type of rock found at the Desert Quarry south of the Bandit Camp in the Kharidian Desert and within the Worker District in Menaphos. While in the Desert Quarry, desert heat will continually reduce the player's life points. Players are encouraged to bring waterskins, an enchanted water tiara, or a tome of frost with them to mitigate the heat. Alternatively, completing Crocodile Tears makes the player immune to the effects of desert heat completely.

Players must have a Mining level of 35 or greater to mine sandstone. When sandstone is mined, the player randomly receives one of the four sizes of sandstone blocks. If wearing Varrock armour, stones mined by the double mining chance will be the same size.

Sandstone is tradeable and sold on the Grand Exchange. It is used to construct part of Lazim's statue during the Enakhra's Lament and to grind into extra fine sand (with a Crafting level of 20) to make an Orthen furnace core or turn into blessed sand for crafting a blessed flask or artificer's measure.
