Many of the world's most recognized landmarks were build with limestone, a favorite stone among architects. Composed primarily of calcite, limestone withstands the test of time and weathers exposure well. Perhaps that explains why Ancient Egyptians used great blocks of limestone for many of their structures still standing today.
With its smooth granular surface and minimal graining, limestone offers a variety of hardness. But while durable and functional, you'll find that limestone brings a natural beauty to just about any setting. |
