Sandstone

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mostly of sand-sized grains cemented by clay, silica, carbonate, or iron oxide. In most places, the majority of the constituent grains are quartz. Sandstone often contains other mineral grains such as feldspar or mica, and very small fragments of pre-existing rocks.

True quartzites are cemented by a form of quartz commonly called silica. Soft, crumbly sandstones of Cretaceous age form cliffs and box canyons in small areas in Kiowa, Comanche, and Clark counties. Iron-oxide cement in this sandstone (the Cheyenne) produces a wide range of colors, including yellow, various bright reds, purple, and brown.

Sandstone | Composition, Properties, Formation, Uses

Sandstone is typically a well-cemented rock, meaning that the sand grains are held together by some type of mineral cement, such as silica, calcium carbonate, or iron oxide. The degree of cementation can vary, and this can affect the strength and durability of the rock.

Sandstone. Sandstone is composed of mineral grains (commonly quartz) cemented together by silica, iron oxide, or calcium carbonate. Sandstones are typically white, gray, brown, or red. Red and brown sandstones are colored by iron oxide impurities. Most sandstones feel gritty, and some are easily crushed (friable) and break up to form sand.
