Quartzite and sandstone are composed mainly of quartz which is a very resistant mineral that weathers slowly. As a result, the soil that develops from quartzite or sandstone tends to be nutrient-poor and well-drained due to the lack of easily weathered minerals. It may also be sandy or gravelly in texture.
