Sadie,

appears to be. but they are not mine. image found on museum site online.(link posted above with arrow wrench)
picked up some red oklahoma sandstone at ojam last year.
but that stuff is way too soft.
think it might make good pigment tho.
it just turns to dust when you try to use it.
will stumble upon the "just right" one of these days.
