compared to most rocks sandstone is rather soft and brittle, but the hardness of it varies greatly from rock to rock, some sandstone is so soft it can be crushed by stamping on it while other sandstone is so hard it can be used to build buildings

Are all sedimentary rocks hard?
Hardness in a rock has different meanings. Although sandstone, a sedimentary rock, may be composed of quartz grains (relatively hard on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness), it might be loosely cemented by calcite crystals which are not so hard, making it crushable by the squeeze of a hand. There are other well cemented sedimentary rock types that are very resistant to breaking, however. Certain limestones, breccias, conglomerates, and sandstones take great effort to break into smaller pieces. In general though, geologists will refer to sedimentary rock as soft rock, and igneous rock as hard rock. Igneous rock has an interconnected crystalline structure which makes it very resistant to fracture.
