Step 1. Exam the stone visually. Sandstone is created in layers. If you can see horizontal lines through the stone indicating these layers, you can be sure that it is sandstone and not limestone. Limestone is made mostly of calcium deposits from large collections of shell, and coral and creates a solid colored stone.
