Sandstone, a sedimentary rock primarily composed of cemented sand (quartz and feldspar), is valued for its durability, diverse colors (yellow, red, brown, white), and workability.  Its hardness and weather resistance make it ideal for construction (walls, roads, paving), while its aesthetic appeal suits decorative purposes (gardens, fountains, interiors).  Historically used in monuments and statues, sandstone remains a sustainable and versatile material for numerous applications.
