About Limestone
Limestone means any rock made mostly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), but for geologists, calcareous is only one of many types of “carbonate rocks.” Such rocks consist of more than 50 percent of carbonate minerals, typically calcite minerals (pure CaCO3) or dolomite (calcium-magnesium carbonate, CaMg[CO3]2), or both.
Limestone Colors
Originally natural limestone deposits in shallow sea beds and the color ranges from black, orange, and gray to brown, beige, and cream. While the color of the limestone factors in the stone’s overall appearance, so does the finish on the stone.
