As a result of the action of the waves and pressure on them, this stone is formed.

.

 

 

It contains quantities of silica in addition to different amounts of lime depending on the origin and type.

 

Of course, it is considered one of the oldest natural stones, as some types of it were found more than 2.5 billion years ago.

 

Likewise, limestone is special, which means that it is a natural stone that contains varying amounts of other elements, as we said earlier.
