Limestone

Place of Origin:
Morocco
Limestone is a sedimentary stone formed very largely from the calcified debris of river silts and the exo-skeletons of molluscs and marine life. The material is therefore a compressed calcium carbonate (CaCO3). There are several classifications of limestones (oolitic, volomitic, etc) and some bear attractive visual fossil
remains when cut and finished.
Traditional Uses :Limestones have always been associated with prestige architectural work; interior flooring, masonry, features and exterior cladding. For public realm work within the UK care should be taken when specifying. Generally, they tend to polish under foot-traffic and may become hazardous.
