What is limestone?

Limestone is a frequently employed option in the field of architecture and decoration owing to its widespread availability, coupled with its facility of being cut and carved with ease. You can buy limestone from Cairo Minerals for many reasons. Additionally, it is an amalgamation of flint, clay, sand, and calcite, which imparts to it an exclusive look. Furthermore, in addition to being a desirable pick for construction purposes, limestone is also a remarkably robust material and can endure even the most severe weather conditions, irrespective of the location.

Limestone belongs to the calcareous sedimentary rock family, and it contains the mineral calcite. The calcination of calcite produces lime as a byproduct.

Nature produces limestone in varying degrees of purity, depending on the other minerals found alongside it. If limestone has over 10% of dolomite, it becomes dolomite limestone. High magnesium content in limestone results in magnesium limestone. Marble, a decorative building stone, is created by recrystallizing and polishing limestone. The different names given to limestone depend on its texture, mode of occurrence, and foraminifera remains.

A soft and porous rock, limestone typically contains bits of shells and tiny fossils that are visible to the naked eye. Besides its common use in architecture, various other industries and sectors widely use limestone, leading to excessive mining in various locations. You can explore the several uses of limestone below and ensure to visit Cairo Minerals for the highest quality limestone.

What are the uses of limestone?

1. People largely use limestone for crushed roadbeds and building constructions. Additionally, it is widely utilized for cement manufacture.
2. Architects consider limestone as one of the primary materials used in creating remarkable structures, such as the world-renowned Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
3. Skyscrapers use thin sheets of limestone as a façade to cover them instead of solid blocks.
4. Limestone produces quicklime and slaked lime.
5. People burn limestone, along with other raw materials such as ash and sand, to create lime. Then, they mix the product called clinker with gypsum and crush it to form a powdery mixture. Cement is created by mixing this powder with water and is used to make concrete.
6. Pulverized limestone is an excellent soil conditioner that reduces acid soil conditions.
7. Glass making and manufacturing various products like paper, detergent, baking soda, textiles, and more also rely on limestone due to the presence of minerals such as calcite and dolomite.
