Sandstone
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed of sand-size grains of mineral, rock, or organic material. It also contains a cementing material that binds the sand grains together and may contain a matrix of silt- or clay-size particles that occupy the spaces between the sand grains.

How is sandstone formed?
What are the characteristics of sandstone?
Does sandstone break easily?
Silica cemented sandstone is very durable and hard. Calcite cemented sandstone is subject to acidic dissolution and is more easily eroded. Clay and gypsum cement, which are soft minerals, tend to produce much softer sandstone and the sand can sometimes be rubbed off in a person’s hands.
What are the three types of sandstone?

Granite is harder, longer-lasting, and easier to clean. But it’s incredibly difficult to carve, making it a less obvious option for building masonry projects where heritage isn’t a consideration. Sandstone is easier to work with and still widely produced.

Why is sandstone different colors?
Because it is composed of light-colored minerals, sandstone is typically light tan in color. Other elements, however, create colors in the sandstone. The most common sandstones have various shades of red, caused by iron oxide. In some instances, there is a purple hue caused by manganese.
Is Sandstone natural or manmade?
What is the most important feature of sandstone for its identification?
Why is sandstone good for building?
It has a relatively low carbon footprint as it uses a very small percentage of the energy needed to create a man-made stone-like concrete or brick. No chemicals are used in the production or processing of sandstone, so it creates pretty much no chemical waste.
Is Sandstone acidic or alkaline?
when limestones are weathered, thin alkaline soil is usually left above, whereas weathering of sandstones results in acid soils and peat often forms on them.
