Limestone
is a rock of sedimentary origin
composed principally of calcium
carbonate (the mineral calcite)
or the double carbonate of
calcium and magnesium (the
mineral dolomite) or some
combination of these two minerals.
Compact, dense, recrystallized
limestone that take a polish
is also classified as marble
in trade practice and may
be sold as limestone or as
marble. Limestone is a hard,
impervious and compact rock
with very low water absorption.
Limestone is essentially a
Dolomite stone. Limestone
has a high resistance in freezing
and thawing conditions. Due
to this, limestone can be
used in any atmospheric condition
without getting affected.
Limestone has a very fine
grained surface texture. Limestone
slabs and tiles have a very
good polishing effect. The
most common colors of limestone
are blue, green, brown, desert
yellow and black. Limestone
slabs and limestone tiles
are available in both, natural
and polished surfaces. Limestone
slabs and limestone tiles
are typically used for floorings,
wall cladding, and vanity
tops etc. |
