Sandstone is a sedimentary rock which is made up of sand grains which have been compressed to form a rock that has very weak bonds holding the grains together. The grains themselves can be igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic depending on which rock the grains were eroded from.

Opal is neither a sedimentary, igneous, nor metamorphic rock. It is actually a mineraloid composed of hydrated silica that is formed from silica-rich solutions at low temperature, often found in sedimentary rocks like sandstone or volcanic areas.
Metamorphic rock: Marble, formed from the metamorphism of limestone. Igneous rock: Granite, formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Sedimentary rock: Sandstone, formed from the compaction and cementation of sand grains.
The three main types of rocks are igneous, formed from cooling lava or magma; sedimentary, formed from compressed layers of sediment; and metamorphic, formed from existing rocks that undergo high heat and pressure.
Neither. Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone, and is therefore a metamorphic rock.
sandstone is a sedimentary rock because of the layers or lines you can see on it
Obsidian is an extrusive igneous rock, formed from rapidly cooling lava.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock
metamorphic rocks are formed from sandstone

Sedimentary rocks (such as sandstone and limestone), igneous rocks (such as granite and basalt), and metamorphic rocks (such as marble) are all used in masonry.
