Cement is siliciferous, the growth of authigenic quartz around detrital quartz grains is very common.
In contrast, high values of total porosity of both Podhorni Ujezd and Javorka sandstones (at a level of around 25-30 %) resulting from point or at most long grain contacts, occasionally even up to basal (matrix-supported) rock texture and absence of secondary siliciferous rock cement.
Sandstone from the Staric locality is several times stiffer and more fracture-resistant than Podhorni Ujezd as well as Javorka samples, which corresponds to higher degree of compaction and presence of siliciferous cement.
