That depends on what minerals make up the sandstone. A very common sandstone is quartz arenite, and therefore on the Mohs scale of hardness it would be a seven.
The hardness level of sandstone typically ranges from 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it a relatively soft to medium-hard rock. The specific hardness can vary based on the composition and grain size of the sandstone.
Streak and Mohs hardness are descriptive and identifying terms for minerals. Because sandstone could be composed of a multitude of different rock particles or minerals, a specific hardness or streak cannot be attributed to them.
Mostly 2 or 3. Halite and gypsum usually have a hardness of 2. Shale, sandstone, and conglomerate are about a 3. Limestone may eventually become somewhat harder as it morphs into marble, but may become quite soft if attacked by acids.
Azurite has a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs hardness scale.
Diatomite has a hardness of around 5.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness.

It would depend on how loosely the sandstone was cemented. Some sandstone can be crumbled in your clenched fist, and some are extremely hard.
Azurite has a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs hardness scale.
Diatomite has a hardness of around 5.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
The hardness of Limonite is 4 t0 5.5 on the mohs hardness scale.
flint is a type of quartz, so it has a hardness of about 7 on the mohs scale of hardness
it is 6 1/2 in the mohs hardness scale
It's called the Ore
The Mohs hardness of sodium chloride is 2,5. The Mohs hardness is established by comparison with other minerals, having a known hardness.
Dolomite has a hardness of 3.5-4 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
