Limestone being a sedimentary rock is
composed of sea bottom. The stone varies in appearance and physical
properties depending upon the existing conditions in the environment
while it was being formed. Some limestone contains fossils large
enough to see while others require a microscope to identify the
small animal skeletons that make up many limestones. The hardness of
different limestones vary greatly as well as color patterns and
strength.

The beauty of limestone is mainly in the softness of
texture and color compared to other stones. With most varieties
there is a pastel color base. Colors range from white to beige to
pink, yellow and gray. Patterns vary from monotone to highly
variegated, striped or speckled. The stone has a soft velvety
appearance which is warm to the eye and it invites the touch.
