All rock retains heat. Darker rocks such as schist or obsidian are darker and as a result store heat and retain it more efficiently. Sandstone is often lighter and more reflective.

Does limestone become sandstone when heated?
No. Limestone changes to Marble when it undergoes intense heat and pressure.
What types of ceramics are formed by heat?
Ceramic is a porous material. It has many small air pockets in it which help to reduce heat conduction. The heat does not transfer easily to air so the transfer is held back by these pockets and the heat is retained in the contained liquid or material. The atomic structure of ceramic accounts for its ability to retain heat due to the configuration of bound atoms or ions. A more crystalline structure will have less heat transferred and will retain more heat.
