These stones are mainly consists
of calcite. It does not show such graining or crystalline structure. It has a
smooth granular surface. Some dense limestone can be polished. Common colors
are black, grey, white, yellow or brown. It is more likely to stain than
marble. Limestone is known to contain lime form sea water. Limestone is
basically sedimentary rock composed of the mineral calcite (CaCO3). This stone
is especially popular in architecture, and many landmarks around the world. It
is widely used as tiles, slabs in flooring, wall cladding, vanity tops and to
pave stone the floors of large commercial complexes, hospitals, airports,
shopping malls, railway stations, parks etc. Properties such as high resistance
in freezing and thawing conditions make limestone an ideal for architectural
purposes.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock
composed of small grains cemented by siliceous, telepathic, or calcareous
cementing material. These stones are extremely hard and tough material and
consist of consolidated masses of sand deposited by moving water or by wind.
They are available in impressive colors and patterns, which largely depends
upon the cementing material. Some of the sandstones has a homogeneous and soft
structure that they are capable of receiving most elaborate carving and filigree
work. Sandstone is a very durable formation of quartz grains. Categorized by
the most popular sandstone bonding agents such as silica, calcium, clay, and
iron oxide. Sedimentary stone came from organic elements such as glaciers,
rivers, wind, oceans, and plants. We offer a splendid variety of sandstone
including Kandla Grey, Desert Yellow Brown, Autumn Brown, Buff Brown, Raj Green,
Mandana Red, Red Sandstone, Raveena, Lalitpur Yellow, etc.
Marble is a type of metamorphic rock and
relatively soft natural stone, making it easy to carve .Marble starts off as
either a Limestone or Dolostone, with a lot of the mineral Calcite in it. When
this is exposed to the right amount of heat and pressure, the material changes
into marble. Marble stone has a typical interlocking of carbonate crystals
which offer it a brilliant sheen. Pure white Indian marble stone is formed due
to metamorphosis of limestone or dolomite protolith. The colors, the swirls and
the veins of the Marble stone could be attributed to the mineral impurities
present within.
