This stone is known for its striking red color and is associated with a number of spiritual and mystical traditions.

Composition: Sedona stone is mainly sandstone, a sedimentary rock composed of quartz and other minerals bound together by natural cements such as iron oxide, which gives the stone its characteristic red color.
