Sandstone was a rock that consisted of compacted sand. It could be found on desert planets such as Tatooine, Endregaad, and Soterios.[1]
Description[]
One of the many extraordinary features unique to Tatooine was connected to the sandstone. A mysterious mist rose regularly from the ground where desert sands met cliffs and mesas. Various theories of this moisture's origin were disputed by meteorologists and geologists. One theory suggested that water suspended in sandstone veins beneath the sand underwent complex chemical reactions which made it rise when the ground cooled, then fall underground again with the planet's double sunrise.[2]
