Rocks are not considered to have a streak, as they may consist of several minerals. In the case of sandstone, the rock could be composed of feldspar, quartz, glauconite, and other minerals. Minerals in solutions can penetrate and stain the sandstone as well and affect the attempted streak test.
Streak and Mohs hardness are descriptive and identifying terms for minerals. Because sandstone could be composed of a multitude of different rock particles or minerals, a specific hardness or streak cannot be attributed to them.
There is no single valid answer to this question. A sandstone is defined as a solid rock (no soft sediment) that is mostly composed of mineral grains of diameters between 0.063 and 2 mm. The definition does not include any information on the mineralogy of the rock. As the streak test is sensitive to the type of mineral that one tests, any possible result can be created.
because the sandstone is smooth and big
