Limestone is the result of millions of years of sea shells and bones of sea creatures settling as sediment on the ocean floor. The calcium in the bones and shells combines with carbon dioxide in the water to form calcium carbonate, which is the basic mineral structure of the stone.
Limestone's wide array of shades, colours textures and durability make it a very popular stone for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Available in both slab and tile form it is a popular choice for many interiors though one must ensure a hard limestone is selected for commerical interiors.
