The Garber Sandstone is a geologic formation from the Permian Period in Oklahoma. It serves as an important aquifer, the Garber-Wellington Aquifer, in Logan, Oklahoma, and Cleveland counties of central Oklahoma.[2]
The upper portion of the Garber is associated with extensive baryte mineralization associated with desert rose occurrences in the outcrop area.[3]
