Mint sandstone has soft beige and cream tones, sometimes with darker veining or subtle fossil markings running through the stone. Despite the name, it isn't green—it's known just as often as Fossil Mint, Golden Fossil, or Desert Sand. As a direct manufacturer in Morbi, India, SNK Surfaces supplies Mint sandstone worldwide with our main markets in the UK, Ireland, and Europe in container loads or trade quantities.

What is Mint sandstone?

Mint sandstone is one of the lightest tones in our sandstone range, prized for how it brightens up a space rather than for any green colouring. Its pale, ivory-cream palette works especially well against darker brickwork or greenery, and makes a smaller patio or courtyard feel more open. It's supplied in blocks, slabs, and tiles, and its light tone also makes it a popular choice for interior floors, not just outdoor paving.

Mint sandstone vs. other sandstone tones

Want a warmer, more golden light tone instead? Our Rippon Buff Sandstone leans into honey and cream shades rather than Mint's cooler, paler palette. If you want the same brightness indoors, take a look at our Indoor Tiles range too. Mint is the lightest, brightest option across our whole sandstone collection.

Applications

Patios · courtyards · pathways · interior flooring · wall cladding.
