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]
