Limestone is a natural stone formed mainly of skeletal fragments of many different marine organisms. There are two major minerals that limestone is made of:

  • Aragonite
  • Calcite

Both minerals are known as crystal forms of calcium carbonate. Due to such a high calcium carbonate content, limestone is pretty similar to marble, which is quite interesting since marble is actually a metamorphic rock that is another form of limestone. Therefore, limestone and marble have almost the same maintenance requirements and properties.
