A thin section was prepared for microscopic examination in transmitted polarised light. A count of 100 widely spaced points falling within sectioned sand clasts gave the following composition:
53% quartz as unstrained to mildly strained free simple grains (47%) or composite grains (6%)
11% quartz as moderately strained simple or composite grains
1% vein quartz (highly strained)
1% quartz as highly strained simple grains
2% quartzite (moderately strained)
2% chert (finely microcrystalline quartz)
20% feldspar (slightly sericitised and saussuritised)
Sandstones are highly durable, scratch-resistant, and have excellent resistance properties towards weather, acid, and thermal conditions that make them a perfect building stone. Sandstone is widely used as flooring or paving material in interior and exterior spaces, whether commercial, residential, or public. For public spaces, Sandstone is highly crafted and manageable. Therefore, they are ideal for sculpting and architectural uses such as pillars, entrances, garden furniture, cascades, landscaping products, and stone arts and crafts. Sandstone is made up of a sedimentary stone that is typically the result of quartzite stone being eroded and deposited by natural agents like wind or water, making Sandstone a rich deposition of iron oxide, Quartz, silica, and calcium carbonate. They come complete in many colors, hues, shades and can be carved and decked out to a smooth surface in various attractive shapes.
