Limestone is a sedimentary natural stone formed by two means. The first way is by evaporation, where water containing calcite evaporates and leaves a deposit behind that is compressed by water pressure. The second way involves the calcite shells of sea creatures, when they die, the waves drag the shells and break them down, eventually they settle in the ocean floor, and like the first way, the sediment is compressed by water pressure.

Limestone is translucent and opaque, and it comes in white, cream, yellow, beige, brown, red, blue, grey, and black.
