a problem with the previous analysis

A problem is: a stone is composed of various size pebbles, some of which are similar to grains of sand. Some of them might be grains of sand.

One way to resolve this: a particle of powder might be composed of collections of atoms, resembling pebbles, in a matrix of atoms, equivalent to a sandy cement holding the pebbles together in a stone.

The alternative (not necessarily exclusive) is large atoms in a matrix of smaller atoms.
