Sandstone

Nevada designated sandstone as the official state rock in 1987, a result of the efforts of children from Gene Ward Elementary School in Las Vegas. Sandstone provides some of Nevada's most spectacular scenery - it is found throughout the state of Nevada in areas like the Valley of Fire State Park and Red Rock Canyon Recreational Lands.
