Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock, meaning it's formed from cemented pieces of other rocks and minerals. These pieces, called clasts, are typically sand-sized, ranging from 0.0625 to 2 millimeters in diameter. Quartz and feldspar are the most common clasts, but you can also find sand grains of rock fragments, fossils, and even volcanic glass.
