INFORMATION
Limestone is a common sedimentary rock composed of primarily of the mineral calcite. Limestone can be formed in two different ways: with or without the aid of living organisms. Limestone is easily weathered and eroded. Limestone is an important building stone in many parts of the world. It is normally quarried from surface outcrops. Limestone is used as cut stone for building, and is common throughout Europe in cathedrals and palaces. Limestone is widely used for floors and walls both interior and exterior.
