What are Mint Indian Sandstone Coping Stones?

Often referred to in the trade as Fossil Mint, this sandstone is prized for being one of the lightest, brightest tones in our natural stone collection. Despite the name, it carries very little green, instead boasting a beautiful spectrum of light beige, cream, and ivory. These bespoke coping stones feature a "rock faced" edge, meaning the visible sides have been hand-dressed by expert stonemasons to create a textured, rugged profile. This traditional detailing gives garden walls, parapets, and step treads an established, premium feel.

Sizes Available

Bespoke service: As a direct manufacturer, our expert stonemasons can also cut and supply fully customised sizes to meet your specific project requirements.

Natural Texture & Rock Faced Finish

These Fossil Mint coping stones come with a natural riven top surface that provides excellent slip resistance and a beautiful organic texture. The long edges are expertly pitched (rock-faced) to give a rugged, natural stone profile, making them highly popular for capping dark brickwork where the light stone creates a stunning architectural contrast.

Technical Specifications

Why choose Mint Sandstone Coping?

High-quality rock faced wall capping is essential for protecting your brickwork and rendered walls from water ingress and frost damage. A solid natural sandstone coping slab with a proper overhang ensures rainwater drips cleanly away from the wall face. Mint Sandstone’s pale palette makes smaller courtyards feel significantly more open and spacious.

If you love the rock-faced aesthetic but prefer a warmer, richer tan colour to match earthy garden tones, consider comparing these with our Camel Dust Indian Sandstone Rock Faced Coping Stones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mint Sandstone actually green?
No, despite the name, it is a light beige, cream, and ivory stone. It is highly valued for how beautifully it brightens up dark garden spaces.

What sizes does this coping come in?
We stock three main sizes: 1500x500x40mm, 900x500x40mm, and 600x350x25mm. However, as a direct manufacturer, we also provide customised size stones as per the requirement.

What does "rock faced" mean?
A rock-faced edge is hand-chiseled (or pitched) by a stonemason to give the edge a rough, rugged, and highly natural appearance, offering a more traditional look than a smooth, sawn edge.

Are these suitable for garden steps?
Yes, the 40mm thick options (900x500 and 1500x500) are incredibly robust and make perfect, heavy-duty step treads for garden staircases.
