Yes, it is.
Hard rock: GraniteSoft rock: Sandstone
compared to most rocks sandstone is rather soft and brittle, but the hardness of it varies greatly from rock to rock, some sandstone is so soft it can be crushed by stamping on it while other sandstone is so hard it can be used to build buildings
Sandstone can be metamorphosed into quartzite. Heat and pressure bake the sandstone and it becomes extremely hard.

sandstone is not harder than flint because sandstone breaks in to smaller pieces.
That would depend on what the cementing material is and how densely it is compacted.
Quartzite, a non banded metamorphic rock.
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone. The process involves heat and pressure altering the sandstone's mineral composition, causing quartz grains to recrystallize and fuse together, resulting in a harder, more durable rock. Quartzite is known for its smooth texture, high resistance to weathering, and distinctive white color.
Sandstone is pretty tough! Sandstone is in between hard and pretty hard. If sandstone is made to build buildings, towers, bridges, and arcs and they have stayed up and have never fallen then there pretty strong!
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock.
Sandstone is a Sedimentary rock.
Yes. Sandstone is considered as a clastic sedimentary rock because it is formed from small particles of weathered and eroded rocks from various sources.
