how about u give me the answer
environments not conducive to optimum coral growth, is conducive to quartz sandstone.
Usually sandstone is used to supply quartz for making glass.
Usually sandstone is used to supply quartz for making glass.
The principal mineral in sandstone is quartz. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized mineral particles, with quartz being the most abundant mineral present.

Generally, arkosic sandstone would travel less distance before deposition compared to quartz sandstone. This is because arkosic sandstone is typically less resistant to weathering and erosion due to its higher content of feldspar, which weathers more easily compared to quartz. Quartz sandstone, being more durable, can travel further before getting deposited.
rock salt and conglomerate
Maybe lechatelierite? Or crystal (as in quartz glass)?
Sandstone is usually composed of grains of quartz with a calcitic or silica based cement.

Metamorphic quartz sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock that has undergone metamorphism, resulting in a denser, harder rock. This process typically involves heat and pressure that recrystallizes the quartz grains and other minerals in the sandstone, transforming it into a more compact and durable rock. Metamorphic quartz sandstone usually exhibits distinct banding or foliation due to the rearrangement of mineral grains during metamorphism.
