If the individual grains are smaller than 1/16th of a millimeter, the stone is called a [[Siltstone]]. When Sandstone are exposed to high heat, such as through magma coming into contact with the stone, the grains melt and are recrystallized, forming the stone [[Quartzite]]. It is found in numerous colors, most common being yellow, red, gray, white, tan, and brown. |
