What does sandstone feel?
Sandstone is feels very coarse; just like sand paper.
What does sandstone feel like?
Sandstone feels rather smooth but has got some bumps on it as well.
Is sandstone magnetic?
No, there is nothing metallic in sandstone.
Why does sandstone feel like sandpaper?
Yes. Very much. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized minerals or rock grains. Most sandstone is composed of quartz and/orfeldspar because these are the most common minerals in the Earth's crust. Like sand, sandstone may be any color, but the most common colors are tan, brown, yellow, red, gray and pink, white. Since sandstone beds often form highly visible cliffs and other topographic features, certain colors of sandstone have been strongly identified with certain regions.
What colors are sandstone?

Is sandstone like dirt?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed of sand-sized minerals and rock grains. Most sandstone is composed of quartz and feldspar. As far as touching it goes, yes, it is like dirt. The texture feels like sandpaper, and kind of dusty.
How does limestone and sandstone smell?
Limestone typically does not have a noticeable smell. Sandstone may have a mineral-like smell due to its composition, but it is generally not strong or distinct.
What are rock sediments?
There are organic rocks, like Limestone, and clastic (composed of fragments), like Sandstone. Within these groups there are others, like coal is organic and siltstone is clastic, but even within limestone and sandstone, there are further categories. There's oolitic limestone, chalk and 'shelly' limestones; and arkose, desert sandstone, orthoquartzite (generic sandstone), and others. Conglomerate is an interesting one, if you are after a rock that is not 'normal'.
Can sandstone float or sink?
Sandstone typically sinks in water due to its high density and composition. However, factors like porosity and air pockets within the sandstone can affect its buoyancy, making it possible for some sandstone to float in water under specific conditions.
What is the apperance of sandstone?
It will feel slightly gritty on the surface. With a magnifying glass you'll be able to see the sand grains.
