Limestone is typically formed over many years at the bottom of oceans or lakes from the accumulation of shells, bones and other calcium rich goods. The calcium in the bones & shells combines with Carbon Dioxide in the water to boom Calcium Carbonate which is the basic m... 

Marble is basically metamorphosed limestones. Once limestone is subjected to heat and pressure,the calcium carbonate re crystallizes into marble. Marble have similar characteristics to limestones. Marble is suitable for both interior and exterior applications. Marble is met... 

Sandstone is a sedimentary stone that is typically the result of quartzitic stone being eroded and redeposited by either wind or water. River beds, ocean beaches and sand dunes will all eventually become Sandstone. Sandstone is typically the youngest of the quartz based sto... 

Granite is intrusive rock that start out as molten masses deep within the earth. As the mass cools, the minerals forms into crystals of various size and shapes, depending on the conditions at the time. Large crystals are indicative of a slow cool down while small crystals a... 

Slate Stone is basically metamorphosed shale. Shale stone is made up of slit and clay that is similar in composition to sandstone except that the particle size is much smaller. The shale is subject to heat and pressure and the fine particles are “melted” togethe...
