Sand is composed of small loose particles of eroded rock of any type, but commonly it is particles of quartz from igneous or metamorphic rock. Each sand grain is actually a rock unto itself. Only when the sand grains are cemented together through a process known as lithification, do the sand grains become part of a new sedimentary rock.
Clastic rock
Silica sand is not a type of rock but rather a granular material composed of small grains of silica, which is a mineral. Silica sand is commonly found in the form of quartz in various geological formations such as sandstone and beaches.
