Sandstone

Sandstone

Sandstone is an easy one to recognize.  It is a sedimentary rock and you can see the layers laid down in this sample.

I once owned a building with sandstone foundations.  I read that such construction is common around the world.  It is easy to shape and can be carved into a statue, for example.  Its high absorbency makes it great for beverage coasters.  Sandstone has been used in France to make oil lamps.
