Sandstone
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized mineral particles or rock fragments. Sandstone begins to form when loose sand grains accumulate in a depositional environment. Sandstone is primarily composed of sand-sized grains, typically made up of quartz, feldspar, and other minerals. Sandstone offers natural beauty and a wide range of colors and textures. Sandstone can form in various depositional environments such as deserts, riverbeds, beaches, deltas, and shallow marine settings.
Natural Stones
Marble is widely used in the Middle East for its elegance and beauty. Natural stones are commonly used for flooring in both residential and commercial buildings. West Asian building stones are known for their durability, allowing them to withstand harsh weather conditions and long-term use. West Asia is home to various types of marble, each with its own unique characteristics. Travertine is formed over thousands of years as water flows through limestone and carries dissolved minerals to the surface.
Sandstone trade in Somalia
Somalia’s economy is largely based on agriculture, livestock, remittances, and a growing informal sector. Despite the challenges posed by decades of political instability, civil war, and limited infrastructure, Somalia has maintained a degree of resilience through informal trade networks and the support of its diaspora. Livestock, particularly cattle, sheep, and camels, forms the backbone of the economy, with the country being a major supplier of animals to the Middle East. Agriculture, especially the cultivation of bananas, sugarcane, and sorghum, is also a key sector, though it has faced challenges due to recurring droughts and lack of modern farming techniques.
