Sandstone will have the individual grains of sand visible, and some will probably be able to be rubbed off with the finger. It will feel gritty. Only if it is a very fine grained, fairly pure quartz, will the stone grains bond together. There are usually too many impurities present to allow bonding.

∙ 12y agoQuartz is a colorless, transparent, and very hard crystalline material of glass-like look. The well-known rock crystals - six-sided prisms with a six-sided pyramid at their ends - are simply well formed crystals of quartz. Quartz appears in a number of colored varieties, like amethyst (violet), citrine (yellow), or smoky quartz (gray to brown). It also occurs in dense forms with no visible crystals, like the multi-colored agate and the gray flint.
