More about limestone
The name “limestone” comes from its composition - stone formed primarily from lime, or calcium carbonate, derived from ancient marine organisms.
How limestone forms
Limestone is formed over millions of years from the accumulation of shells, coral and other marine debris that settle and compact on the ocean floor. Over time, these materials solidify into rock rich in calcium carbonate, creating the soft, natural stone known for its warm tones and subtle texture.
Limestone properties
Limestone is a soft, porous natural stone known for its warm, earthy tones and smooth, matte texture. While it’s easier to shape and carve than harder stones, it requires sealing and care to protect it from staining and weathering, making it ideal for decorative interiors and architectural features.
Limestone uses
Limestone is commonly used for flooring, wall cladding, fireplaces and decorative features due to its natural beauty and workability. It’s also popular in landscaping, garden paths and as a material in construction and architectural detailing.
