WHAT IS SANDSTONE?
Sandstone is one of the most common types of clastic sedimentary rock composed of cemented sand-sized mineral grains, rock fragments, or organic material. The cement binding these grains together are typically calcite, clays, and silica. Most sandstone is composed of quartz or feldspar because they are the most resistant minerals to weathering processes at the Earth’s surface.


SANDSTONE A GIFT FROM NATUR !!!
The environment where it is deposited is crucial in determining the characteristics of the resulting sandstone, which include its grain size, sorting, composition, and rock geometry, and sedimentary structures. Depending on the mix of matrix and cement, sandstone may have a wide range of colors from nearly white (elegant and eye-catching) to nearly black, with gray, brown, red, pink, and buff in between.
