Red sandstone is the ingredient used to create Robust glass after As a First Resort... and requires 81 Mining to obtain, this requirement is boostable. The only known location to mine Red sandstone is just outside Oo'glog, near the agility shortcut in the wall. Mining this yields 70 experience per block, but players are only able to mine a maximum of 50 Red sandstone daily, which resets at midnight GMT.
Note that even though only 50 can be mined per day, there is no limit to the amount of Robust glass that can be created per day.
Uncut gems and Strange rocks can be received from mining red sandstone. In addition, both the Penance horn and the Sacred clay pickaxe will give bonus experience when mining it, as does the mining ring from clan citadels.
According to Rutmir Arnhold, the very walls of Oo'glog is composed of red sandstone, but the ogresses won't let anyone mine them for obvious reasons.

Bonus

Shooting StarEdit
It is possible to mine more than the maximum daily amount with the reward from shooting stars, which gives the player a chance of receiving double ore. Assuming the player is mining all the red sandstone available, the effect of the reward given by the shooting stars will allow the player to mine up to 20 extra pieces per day.
Resourceful auraEdit
The Resourceful aura can also be used to slow the depletion of the rock so that more than 50 can be obtained per day.
TriviaEdit
- Red sandstone also alludes to the parallels Oo'glog has with the Australian outback. Most rocks tend to be red, and difficult to mine in large amounts.
- Red sandstone is gathered almost at the same speed as concentrated gold ore.
- The extra-ore effect of Varrock armour does not allow you to mine multiple pieces of red sandstone.
- Drinking a dose of Juju mining potion will automatically bank the red sandstone for you.
- Beasts of Burden can hold red sandstone, even though it is untradable. This is the only known item where this is the case besides untradeable potions in vials or flasks.
- Initially, when red sandstone was introduced into the game, emptying the deposit gave the player a message in their chatbox saying, "You empty the rock of sandstone. There will be some more tommorrow," with "tomorrow" spelled wrong. This has since been fixed.
- It is possible to obtain strange rocks from red sandstone as if you were mining any other rock.
- On the day of release, red sandstone was tradeable but was fixed after an update came out to prevent influx and prices going down on flasks.
- Red Sandstone is unique when compared to concentrated ore because when it is mined the animation for mining restarts instead of simply continuing as if no ore was mined.
