Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed of mainly calcium carbonate. As most
natural limestone rock formations contain mainly non-crystallized minerals,
blocks taken from limestone quarries possess very uniform composition, texture, and structure.
Natural limestones
had originally been deposits on shallow sea beds, so they could
carry certain visible fossil
patterns. Limestone color ranges from white, blue, beige cream yellow to gray, with many variations of
ivory and light gold usually considered most popular for countertop
fabrications.
Popular finishes are honed ("matte"), polished and tumbled. Tumbled
limestones are mainly for paving applications, while polished and honed limestone slabs are
commonly used in flooring and wall covering. Additional limestone uses
include kitchen, bar and vanity countertops, tub surrounds, desks, fireplace
carvings and other architectural and building
applications such as sills, moldings, columns.
