About Limestone
Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed by grains of the skeletal remain of foraminifera, coral or other marine organisms. It is one of the most useful and versatile of all industrial minerals that are widely used in architecture and it is the raw material for the manufacture of quicklime (calcium oxide), slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), cement and mortar. According to the US Geological Survey, the crushed limestone production is the largest of three related industries that extract and process non-fuel, nonmetallic minerals.
