Siltstone is a type of sedimentary rock made of fine particles like sand and clay. It feels smooth and often has layers that show its formation over time.
The Siltstone has a dull, earthy appearance, often in shades of gray, brown, or reddish-brown. It feels slightly gritty to the touch, distinguishing it from the smoother feel of shale. Its fine grains are usually too small to see individually without magnification.
