Description

We can offer you a veriaty of lime stones from South Africa since we have our marble mines in South Africa we have reliable source for lime stone.

Limestone is a sedimentary rock, made up mostly of the mineral calcite, a form of calcium carbonate, CaCO3.  Limestone, for example, is formed from inorganic remains, such as shells  and skeletons. Later, much of it goes into solution in sea water, and then is deposited as limestone. Calcium carbonate gets precipitated when the physical condition of the water changes. For example, if the concentration of CaCO3 is high, then a temperature drop, or a pH (acidity) change, can cause precipitation.

We can supply lime stone in lumps, chips and powder form.
