Hiking

"Leopard sandstone" is the name given to sandstones with striking dark brown speckles. The brown spots are just as fine-grained as the rest of the stone, but darkly colored and cemented with a rusty brown substance. Their creation and thus their composition can be slightly different. Usually it is goethite or siderite.
