Capella Gold Sandstone / Arenisca Capella Gold
Capella Gold is a fine grained quartz sandstone, with porosity less than 0.53% by weight. Capella
Gold is one of the least porous sandstones available in the nature making it an ideal product for Wall
Cladding. Capella Gold Sandstone is ideal for pool surrounds and landscaping. Quartz as a major
constituent of Capella Gold sandstone makes it extremely resistant to salt attack. Compressive
strength of 185 N/mm2 is in comparison with an extremely strong granite thus making it the most
difficult sandstone to be processed with modern machinery.
Physico-Mechanical characteristics
Características físico-mecánicas
Density (La masa volumétrica) ....................................2.60 gm/cm3
Absorption (Coeficiente de absorción)........................0.53 %
Compressive strength (resistencia a la compresión)..185 N/mm2 (1 Mpa = 1 N/mm2)

Capella Gold Sandstone is used for paving, pool surrounds, and wall cladding.
Stone is a Natural Product, unlike Synthetic Materials, each piece of Natural Stone is exclusive,
unique and unrepeatable.
