No its a red/yellow stone. The red is more affected by the white patche, the yellow less so but im thinking thats just because its lighter and harder to see the discolouration
PS. Dave i can upload pics later on to show the discolourations, any info/help is much appreciated and if youre doubtful the sandblasting will restore the stone to a level not affected by the chemical recation caused by any of the dry mix cement brushing or brick acid or seal trapping in any/all of these your advice would be greatly received. The sandblasting is planned for the next dry day, probaly Mon or Tue next week.
