Sandstone is originally deposited sand which has subsequently been compressed and hardened with a binder between the sand grains. Sandstone may have the colors gray, yellow, red and white. The stone is rounded and you can know it on its many layers which make it slightly streaked. When you look at the sandstone close by, you can sense the sand grains from which the stone is made.
