Jodhpur Pink Sandstone

Description

Jodhpur Pink Sandstone — also traded as J. Pink Sandstone — is the softer, more feminine counterpart to Jodhpur Red in the Jodhpur sandstone family. Its palette ranges from pale blush and rose pink to deeper dusty pinks, with the characteristic fine grain and smooth workability that makes all Jodhpur sandstones so adaptable. Where Jodhpur Red commands attention through boldness, Jodhpur Pink creates warmth and sophistication without overpowering a space.

Stone Harbor sources Jodhpur Pink directly from the Jodhpur quarry region of Rajasthan. It is consistently popular in European residential markets, hospitality interiors, and garden design where a warm, feminine natural stone tone is the design goal.

Origin and Composition

Jodhpur Pink Sandstone is a sedimentary stone from the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan, India. Its pink colouration — from pale rose to deeper dusty pink — comes from lower concentrations of iron oxide compared to the deep red of Jodhpur Red Sandstone. The same fine grain structure and silica-calcium carbonate cementation provide excellent workability and structural durability. Jodhpur Pink is frost-resistant and performs well in outdoor conditions across temperate climates.
