Nature's Interactive - Curating and displaying flexible sandstone
H. Kerbey · Geological Curator · 2011
Flexible sandstone is an intriguing rock found in many geological collections, yet little is commonly known about its origins. It has been found in many different locations around the world and appears to be formed by metamorphism of quartz rich sandstone resulting in dissolution of quartz at the grain boundaries into highly irregular, yet interlocking shapes. It is an interesting rock to display and, with a few precautions, can be made into an effective interactive display.
