Default Sandstone and preventing erosion

Look at any number of ancient European churches. Sandstone is an often used
building material. It doesn't wear nearly as well as granite, but it
should last _years_ in a waterfall - assuming you aren't subject to
freeze/thaw cycles. If it freezes, the erosion will be greatly
accelerated.
