No, sandstone is not a pure substance. Sandstone is a mixture of eroded rock particles (grains of sand) that have been put under pressure over millions of years until they have formed a solid (sandstone) rock layer.Sandstone is a sedimentary rock, mainly of sand-sized mineral particles or rock fragments. Sandstone is mainly composed of quartz or feldspar.
the rocks that he collected were called moon stone or lunar stone.
Reasoning : soil particles the diameters of which are less than 0.005 millimetre; also a rock that is composed essentially of clay particles. Rock in this sense includes soils, ceramic clays, clay shales, mudstones, glacial clays (including great volumes of detrital and transported clays), and deep-sea clays (red clay, blue clay, and blue mud). These are all characterized by the presence of one or more clay minerals, together with varying amounts of organic and detrital materials, among which quartz is predominant. Clay materials are plastic when wet, and coherent when dry. Most clays are the result of weathering.
The names of the particles that make up soil from the smallest to the largest particles are clay, silt, and sand.
Soil consists of four materials: (In order from largest to smallest)Plant decomposition and animal wasteSandSiltClay

They are easily carried by the wind.
soil texture is some what the same there are soils with coarse or rough texture and there those with fine smooth texture . soil texture is due to the size of the particles that make it up. there are 3 main types of soil particle :-sand, with coarser or larger particles-silt, with medium sized particles-clay, with the finest or smallest particles
The largest of the fine earth particles would be sand, which can be up to 2mm in diameter. There are some soils that are composed of gravel, but they are not terribly widespread or important.
