I found a piece of what looks to be partially formed or somewhat degraded sandstone and it looked as if it could be created without millions of years of pressure. : )
it has no definite grain or pattern,
it is extremely porous if it is indeed a rock,
it is composed of sand grains,
it is easy to turn it back into normal sand by hitting it with another rock of the same sort,
I am reluctant to say it's sandstone because of how brittle it is,
it has a slightly harder coating of dark sand on its exterior which looks burnt in a way,
I don't know what is cementing the sand grains together,
and the way the grains are cemented together reminds me more of a dried sandcastle than hard sandstone,
however this stone is cemented together, it is still significantly harder than a dried sandcastle
