AnagramsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate: CaCO3). Like most other sedimentary rocks, limestones are composed of grains, however, around 80-90% of limestone grains are skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral or foraminifera. Other carbonate grains comprising limestones are ooids, peloids, intraclasts, and extraclasts. Some limestones do not consist of grains at all and are formed completely by the chemical precipitation of calcite or aragonite. i.e. travertine. The solubility of limestone in water and weak acid solutions leads to karst landscapes. Regions overlying limestone bedrock tend to have fewer visible groundwater sources (ponds and streams), as surface water easily drains downward through joints in the limestone. While draining, water and organic acid from the soil slowly (over thousands or millions of years) enlarges these cracks; dissolving the calcium-carbonate and carrying it away in solution. Most cave systems are through limestone bedrock. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I have moved into a home with gray ceramic (the decorator refers to them as limestone) floors. I have used several cleaners, but they continue to look dull. When I previewed the house, the previous owner was able to make them shiny. Does anyone know of a product that would work? Someone told me to use dishwashing liquid and vinegar, and that actually left white stains!!! Asked by Isaac T - Mon Apr 2 20:43:13 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. First I would wash it with a ceramic floor cleaner. Than I used a car polish and buffed it up with an old bath towel after it dryed. Test first to make sure it doesnt become slippery. If so, use another brand. I cant remember the brand I used since it was about 2 years ago and I dont have ceramic tile in my new house. Good luck!
