Pure quartz is a colorless mineral, and so a pure quartz sandstone will appear white due to multiple reflections and refractions between grains. However, impurities in the sandstone may give it some other color. What color it turns out as depends on the impurities. For example, iron oxide will produce a red sandstone.
the mineral content of its cement
Sandstone is a type of clastic sedimentary rock with sand-sized minerals or sand grains. Its two chief minerals are quartz and feldspar.
the best material is sandstone
Sandstone is made up mostly of sediments of quartz and/or feldspar. Therefore sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock.
rock salt and conglomerate
Quartz sandstone, aka arenite, can form the metamorphic rock called quartzite.
Impurities gives quartz its many beautiful colors.
environments not conducive to optimum coral growth, is conducive to quartz sandstone.
sandstone
Sandstone has no defined chemical formula. Sandstone is usually composed of quartz grains sometimes cemented together with a variety of minerals. The quartz grains are composed of SiO2 (Silicon dioxide). The cement in a sandstone are often composed of quartz (SiO2) or calcite (CaCO3) or rarely, other minerals.
how about u give me the answer
Iron Oxide - rust.
Maybe lechatelierite? Or crystal (as in quartz glass)?
Sandstone is usually composed of grains of quartz with a calcitic or silica based cement.
Sandstone will often contain feldspar, but some sandstones are composed entirely of quartz.
