A sedimentary rock formed from calcareous remains of plants and
animals or precipitated from solution. It is natural calcium
carbonate (CaCO3) and will yield lime when heated. Does not show much
graining or crystalline structure. It has a smooth granular surface.
Varies in hardness. Some dense limestones can be polished. Color
tones are typically neutral.
TYPICAL USES
Used for flooring, walls, [...]

A light-colored, compact form of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) formed
from several cycles of sedimentation in limestone caves. It contains
holes that were formed from decomposing vegetation within the layers
of sediment, and from sulphurous gases rising to the top of the
limestone mud in the form of boiling bubbles.
TYPICAL USES
Used for flooring, vanities, showers, and vertical surfaces.
Suitable for interior [...]
