A sedimentary rock, formed of calcite from shells and corals, limestone is found anywhere oceans used to exist.
Colors:
Limestone is, in a word, sandy, ranging in color from light creamy to gray and shades of brown and buff.
Common Uses:
From soaring cathedrals to simple landscape structures, limestone adopts well to any project. For countertops Fox recommends a sealant to protect and add luster.
