Limestone is a type of soft marble formed over millions of years from sea shells and bones of sea which creatures settling on the ocean floor, hence it is called a sedimentary stone.

The calcium in the bones & shells combines with Carbon Dioxide in the water to form Calcium Carbonate, which is the basic mineral structure of all limestone and marble.

The result – smooth chalky natural stone often with deep set fossils creating fantastic visual interest. The feeling of calm and serenity can be conveyed to a room using this material.

Limestone Pool Coping: Definition and Classification

Limestone pool coping is a versatile sedimentary rock used for pool edges, architectural details, and landscaping.

1. Definition

Limestone is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate (calcite mineral) or calcium magnesium carbonate (dolomite mineral). It can also be a mixture of both minerals.

Commercial Types of Limestone:

• Standard Limestone
• Crust Limestone
• Dolomite
• Microcrystalline Limestone
• Mash-like Limestone
• Recrystallized Limestone
• Tuffite

2. Performance Classification

Limestone is categorized based on density, which impacts its durability and usage.

• Low-Density Limestone: Density ranges from 1.76–2.16 g/cm³
• Mid-Density Limestone: Density ranges from 1.76–2.56 g/cm³
• High-Density Limestone: Density is above 2.56 g/cm³

3. Distinction Between Limestone, Marble, and Dolomite

In the stone industry, a common challenge is that some natural stones appear visually similar but have different compositions and properties.

• The differences between marble, limestone pool coping, and dolomite are mostly identifiable by professionals.
• Many building owners focus on appearance rather than the stone's exact type.

4. Importance of Differentiation

Understanding the differences between limestone, marble, and dolomite is essential for end users. A clear distinction allows for better purchasing decisions and ensures the stone meets the intended application requirements.
