hi,
i have been looking around at indian sandstone for a few weeks now..

not trying to become an expert, but just trying to understand what are the natural characteristic of the stone. (mainly Raj Green/York or Autumn Brown/Blend)

even when visiting reputable suppliers of say globalstone for example, i can notice regular delaminating (both on sample stones on display and those still in the crate)

i have managed to remove flakes as big as a post-it note about 2mm thick... !

is that part of the natural look and what to expect with sandstone?

am i worring too much? :-)

cheers
paul
